Book Reviews of Where Angels Fear to Tread (Dover Thrift Editions)
Book Review: Good, short read
Summary: 4 Stars
Hovering somewhere around 100 pages, _Where Angels Fear to Tread_ is a good, short weekend read. The novela tells the story of an upperclass British family that travels to Italy to save the son of their late daughter-in-law from a savage upbringing by his Italian father, their daughter-in-laws second husband. There aren't a whole lot of happy moments in the novella - on the whole it's pretty depressing, but it was never boring, and the characters, some lovable, some completely aggravating, were at least interesting. Having never read any other works by E.M. Forster, I am not cut out to comment on style, but knowing that this was his first work makes me really want to read his later novels - this was great for a first effort, so I'm sure his more mature work is fantastic.
Summary of Where Angels Fear to Tread (Dover Thrift Editions)
A young Englishman journeys to Tuscany to rescue his brother's widow from an apparently unsuitable romance with an Italian of little fortune. Exciting and eventful, Forster's early novel showcases his storytelling gifts as well as his deep fascination with all aspects of the human experience ? sexual, moral, spiritual, imaginative, and material.
