Description
A brilliant social comedy about the English middle classes abroad and at home, A ROOM WITH A VIEW is one of E.M. Forster's most popular novels.
The medieval beauty of Florence is the setting for the emotional awakening of Lucy Honeychurch, a young woman travelling abroad for the first time with her cousin Charlotte. On her return to England, in her relationships with her cousin, the unconventional Emersons and her supercilious fiance Cecil, Lucy is torn between lingering Victorian proprieties and the spontaneous promptings of her heart.
