WOW such a sad story

Forster’s first novel. Seemed a bit fluffy, silly, immature, and sometimes downright nasty. Although it is a short book, it grew very tiresome. The final two chapters, which deliver a clear message about acceptance and forgiveness among people regardless of social status, do redeem the story. Obviously, Forster began with a good idea but the reader must wade through a lot of muck in order to unearth it. Patience, dear reader — patience and perseverance!

"The advance of regret can be so gradual that it is impossible to say "yesterday I was happy, today I am not."

This is another fast-paced, funny, tragic, and dramatic little novel by E.M. Forster. Being his first novel, it isn't as refined or mature as A Room with a View but Where Angels Fear to Tread stands its ground as a classic with its riveting plot, complex characters, and simple message. This book is anything but predictable and I highly recommend it as a vacation or weekend read.
