| Summary Note |
When liberal minded English ladies Mrs Moore and Adela Quested arrive in India, they are shocked by the racial prejudice that exists there. Fortunately, kind Dr. Aziz rises above the intolerance and guides the women on a tour of the Marabar caves. The outing turns tragic when Adela suddenly comes running from one of the caves bleeding and frightened. News of the incident quickly spreads, igniting a powder keg of tension just waiting to explode. |
