Nigel COLLETT

Biographer

Both a refection on India’s history and a biographical retelling of Forster’s travels there in the early 1900s, this book delves into the past to better understand the impact certain events and people had on his writing, allowing readers to watch as Forster matures over time. Often using Forster’s own words to evoke a vivid landscape, this is the story of the most dramatic and exotic part of the life of one of England’s greatest novelists.
