    Adela Quested ist mit ihrer Schwiegermutter in spe nach Indien gekommen um zu sehen, ob sie deren Sohn heiraten möchte. Die beiden freunden sich mit dem indischen Arzt Dr. Aziz an, welcher ihnen Höhlen in der Gegend zeigen will. Dabei kommt es zu einem Vorfall, der Dr. Aziz in Haft bringt und die Gesellschaft über seine Schuld spaltet und die Freundschaften zwischen Indern und Briten gefährdet.

    Das Buch lässt an manchen Stellen für seine Zeit fortschrittliche Einstellungen durchscheinen und gehört sicher zu den wichtigsten Erzählungen der Kolonialzeit aus britischer Sicht. Ingesamt hat sich die Geschichte für mich aber etwas gezogen und das Handeln der Charaktere war etwas scheer nachzuvollziehen.

    My feelings on this book where changing costantly. First, it was ok: I liked the interpersonal stuff and I really liked Aziz, Mrs Moore and Fielding, but I felt the intercultural conflict was too on the nose (even though it was probably realistic since Forster experienced it first hand). Then, I grew to like these people even more and really enjoyed the book, until that "conflict" happened, which was basically resolved after a few chapters once we encountered Adela again, so it kinda felt pointless, but the author kept adding drama. I see what he wanted to achieve but I just didn't care anymore after this point. Also, Foster's writing might be great on a technical level, for me it is much too long-winded and doesn't get to the point. So, really nice and interesting conversations and relationships, but plot and writing weren't my cup of tea. I'll probably give Forster another try but it isn't a priority.
