Publisher's summary

Maurice by E.M. Forster is the story of a young man struggling with his sexuality at the beginning of the 20th century.

Written between 1913 and 1914, it was published over 50 years later, the author believing that due to public and legal attitudes to homosexuality, to publish it in his lifetime would signal an end to his career.

Maurice is now considered to be one of the most groundbreaking and significant novels of the LGBT+ canon, and in this brand-new recording Ben Whishaw (Mary Poppins Returns, Paddington, A Very English Scandal) gives an emotive and mesmerising performance.

Whishaw’s performance is phenomenal

I wrote to Audible a few years ago hoping them to invite Ben Whishaw to do audiobooks. Finally Brief Answer to the Big Questions was released and now Maurice. Whishaw’s performance is phenomenal. Silky, musical voice. Total enjoyment to my ears.
