A clash between English convention and Italian passion reveals the dangers of pride, prejudice, and misunderstanding.

E. M. Forster’s first novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread, is a sharply observed exploration of cultural conflict, family expectations, and the consequences of trying to impose one’s values on others. When the young widow Lilia Herriton travels to Italy and impulsively marries a local man, her conventional English relatives are horrified and attempt to intervene. Their efforts to restore what they believe to be proper order lead to unexpected tragedy and force them to confront their own narrow assumptions about morality, class, and happiness. With wit, compassion, and psychological insight, Forster examines the tension between restraint and freedom, duty and desire, revealing the complexities of human relationships.
