E. M. Forster 
Where Angels Fear to Tread 

In ‘Where Angels Fear to Tread, ‘ E.M. Forster unveils the tumultuous clash of cultures and social norms through the story of the Herriton family’s entanglement with Italy. When young widow Lilia Herriton marries a much younger Italian man, her in-laws embark on a mission to save face and retrieve her baby from this unsuitable match. Set against the picturesque but starkly contrasting landscapes of England and Italy, Forster crafts a poignant narrative on the folly of arrogance and the pursuit of genuine happiness amidst rigid societal expectations.
