Publisher's Synopsis
Where Angels Fear To Tread is a novel written by E. M. Forster, first published in 1905. The story follows a young English widow named Lilia Herriton, who travels to Italy with her friend Caroline Abbott. Lilia falls in love with an Italian man named Gino and decides to marry him, much to the disapproval of her family. When Lilia dies giving birth to her son, her family sends her brother-in-law, Philip Herriton, to retrieve the child and bring him back to England. However, when Philip arrives in Italy, he finds that Lilia's son is being cared for by Gino's family, and he becomes embroiled in a cultural clash between the English and Italian families. The novel explores themes of cultural differences, love, and the fear of the unknown.
