Where Angels Fear to Tread by E. M. Forster ~ Full Audiobook [drama]

Where Angels Fear to Tread by E. M. Forster audiobook.

Genre: drama

In this sharply observed early novel by E. M. Forster, a well-meaning English family tries to manage a scandal that has carried one of their own far beyond the safe boundaries of Edwardian respectability. After the spirited young widow Lilia Herriton marries an Italian much younger than herself, the Herritons are determined to contain the embarrassment and restore control, sending emissaries abroad to retrieve her and repair the family's reputation. But in the sunlit Tuscan town of Monteriano, their assumptions about class, propriety, and morality begin to buckle against a culture they do not understand - and against Lilia's own hunger for life. As misunderstandings multiply, Forster contrasts English restraint with Italian immediacy, revealing how pride and condescension can masquerade as duty. Caught between loyalty and conscience, the visitors must decide whether they are rescuing a vulnerable woman or protecting themselves from the discomfort of change. Witty, unsettling, and deeply humane, Where Angels Fear to Tread explores love, hypocrisy, and the cost of imposing certainty on other people's lives.
