Troublesome family scenarios are E.M. Forster's forte. In his debut novel "Where Angels Fear to Tread," a relatively young English widow named Lilia Herriton goes to Italy at the advice of her deceased husband Charles's family, accompanied by her friend Caroline Abbott, and, in a quaint little town called Monteriano, falls in love with an even younger hustler named Gino Carella and plans to marry him.

Bol PartnerWitty, satiric and beautifully modulated, Forster's first novel skewers the moral hypocrisy of the British upper-middle class. Where Angels Fear to Tread is a comedy of manners that farcically demonstrates how a comic clash of cultural sensibilites can quickly turn to tragedy.
