I already know I like EM Forster, and this book was not a disappointment. His insight into the human mind and his prose are wonderful to me.
Alec's storyline seemed to come out of nowhere in some ways. It doesn't get as much development as Clive's. But I think it's thematically interesting in terms of class. It feels like Alec almost like breaks into this previously upper class story, where The Poor Lower Classes have previously only circled the margins.
This is a piece of gay history, and I was pleasantly surprised by its relative kindness. Good read.
