A Passage to India is by E.M. Forster. A classic multi-cultural historical fiction tale of colonial India. When an Indian doctor takes a young English woman and her soon-to-be mother-in-law to tour some caves, he loses her for a short time. He believes she has found her way back and when he returns home, he is shocked to find himself under arrest. She has accused him of an ambiguous assault on her person. The British and Indians find themselves embroiled in a contentious trial that demonstrates the hatred and distrust the two sides have for each other.
