The seven stories which go to make up this volume will serve to increase the author’s already well-established reputation. “The Letter,” “We were saying…,” and the story which gives its title to the book are perhaps especially noteworthy, but each in its own way is a model of what such stories should be. All is here; the imaginative outlook; the portrayal of situation, atmosphere, character with a few well-placed touches; the swiftly moving development of the theme; and, not least, the sting in the tail.

“It is an ironic tragedy, but also a brilliant comedy of manners, and a delightful entertainment. Its passages of humour or beauty might, quoted, fill several columns.”
“‘A Passage to India’ is a delicious and terrible book….”
“‘A Passage to India’ is a disturbing, uncomfortable book. Its surface is so delicately and finely wrought that it pricks us at a thousand points…. The humour, irony, and satire that awake the attention and delight the mind on every page all leave their sting.”
