Rickie Elliot, sensitive and lame, is happiest among his Cambridge friends arguing about whether a cow exists when no one looks at it. He marries the conventional Agnes Pembroke, takes a post at a minor public school, and finds his ideals and his writing ground down, until a rough half-brother named Stephen Wonham changes everything.
Forster’s second novel and, by his own account, his favourite, rich in Cambridge, Wiltshire and moral argument. Download the free EPUB.
