E.M. Forster

A Room with a View

Buch

Visiting Italy with her prim and proper cousin Charlotte as a chaperone, Lucy Honeychurch meets the unconventional lower-class Mr. Emerson and his son, George. Upon her return to England she becomes engaged to the supercilious Cecil Vyse, but finds herself increasingly torn between the expectations of the world in which she moves and the passionate yearnings of her heart. As Forster writes, You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. More than a love story, A Room With a View is a perceptive examination of class structure and a penetrating social comedy.
