Description
Against the backdrop of a world in flux at the start of a new century, Arctic Summer portrays the life of British writer E.
M. Forster: his inner turmoil, his search for love and the story behind one of the greatest novels in English, A Passage to India. In 1912, Forster follows his friend Syed Ross Masood to India.
It is on this journey – travelling around the country while it is still under British rule – that the seeds of his novel are planted.
But it will be another twelve years, and a second time spent in India, before his book is published.
Between these two journeys lie the writing of an unpublishable novel, the outbreak of the FirstWorld War, and a long stay in Alexandria, where he has an unlikely affair with an Egyptian tram conductor. As we follow Forster across continents – stuttering, aching, his love mostly unrequited – Galgut captures with colour and exquisite delicacy the England, India and Egypt of the era.
Meticulously researched, Arctic Summer conjures the figure of Forster in all his contradictory genius, providing a fascinating glimpse into the creation of a masterpiece
