Where Angels Fear to Tread (E.M. Forster, 1905)

Lilia travels to Italy and marries penniless Gino; dies in childbirth within a year.  Her brother (Philip) and sister (annoying Henrietta) and Ms. Caroline Abbott go to retrieve the child so it can have a proper English upbringing.  Seems to lead to a Philip-Caroline romance but she goes for Gino, without plans to follow through.  Henrietta persists in child retrieval.  I liked the book well enough.
