Synopsis
Where Angels Fear to Tread, Forster's first novel published when he was only twenty-six, contains all the mastery of dialogue, humour and character displayed in his later work.
Lilia Herriton's marriage to the fiery, pitiable Gino throws together the charismatic but disreputable Italian and the well-bred Herriton family.
Her death in childbirth forces the Herritons and Gino, with a variety of clashing and dubious motives, to consider the baby's future, and sparks powerful emotions and violent actions.

External Reviews
"Forster's power can be lost on some readers. In a few indirect words, he lays bare the appalling bigotry, hypocrisy and snobbery of his cast of characters. Mrs Herriton’s assumption that everyone will do what she expects, manoeuvres, and commands them to do, will, for some, evoke personal memories of how some of that generation conducted themselves. Reading it so many years on was almost startling. Very satisfying." - Amazon Review.
