Apparently Caitlin loves E.M. Forster. I don't know why. Although I found this novel to be enjoyable in the end, many parts were trite. I thought his portrayal of a female protagonist was lackluster. I do, however, always love a happy ending (sorry for the spoiler) - even one that is as predictable as the one in this coming of age story.

i do agree that this is his most trite. howard's end is better and where angels fear to tread is stranger.
