Compellingly honest and beautifully written, it offers a powerful condemnation of the repressive attitudes of British society, and is at once a moving love story and an intimate tale of one man's erotic and political self-discovery.

Gay Editorial Review
Maurice (Penguin Classics) is a poignant exploration of love and identity set against the restrictive social norms of early 20th century Britain. This classic novel by E. M. Forster, first published in the seventies yet written in 1912, presents the heartfelt journey of Maurice Hall as he navigates his feelings for other men while confronting societal expectations. Readers have praised its emotional depth, noting that it transcends its era with themes of acceptance and the struggle for authenticity, inviting reflection on how far we have come in understanding sexuality. Its language, reflective of its time, offers a challenging yet rewarding reading experience, making it a cherished work for many who appreciate literary history.

“I ordered the Flowtime Biofeedback Headband from Ubuy. I reside in South Africa. I was very impressed with the ease of purchase, parcel tracking, and speed of service. My package arrived much earlier than anticipated. I am very impressed with the service and would highly recommend it. Hence the 5 stars.”

“I bought Huckberry Flint & Tinder blazer at Ubuy. My request for a return was rejected at first but later I received an apology message willing to resolve the matter without placing any burden on me. I really appreciate their resolution. The blazer was collected yesterday by DHL couriers on behalf of Ubuy. They can only do a refund and not offer a bigger size as i expected, but i am fine with that too. ”
