” In 1912, the SS Birmingham approaches India. On board is Morgan Forster, novelist & man of letters, who is embarking on a journey of discovery. As Morgan stands on deck, the promise of a strange new future begins to take shape before his eyes. The seeds of a story start to gather at the corner of his mind: a sense of impending menace, lust in close confines, under a hot, empty sky. It will be another twelve years, & a second time spent in India, before A Passage to India, E. M. Forster`s great work of literature, is published. During these years, Morgan will come to a profound understanding of himself as a man, & of the infinite subtleties & complexity of human nature, bringing these great insights to bear in his remarkable novel. At once a fictional exploration of the life & times of one of Britain`s finest novelists, his struggle to find a way of living & being, & a stunningly vivid evocation of the mysterious alchemy of the creative process, Arctic Summer is a literary masterpiece, by one of the finest writers of his generation.”
