Where Angels Fear to Tread (Twentieth Century Classics)

When the widow Lilia Herriton marries the much younger, disreputable, and pitiable Gino, events of poignancy and pathos play themselves out. The mores of a narrow and lifeless society present a solemn background. Told with sympathy, a lightness, and a radiant atmosphere of humor, Forster's first novel is a supreme example of his masterful touch.
