Description
E. M. Forster published A Room with a View in 1908, though he had drafted it years earlier. Forster set half the story in Florence, a city he loved and visited often. It is his sunniest and most romantic novel.
Young Lucy Honeychurch tours Italy under the watch of her fussy cousin Charlotte. In Florence she meets the free-spirited George Emerson, who kisses her among the violets. Back in England she accepts the priggish Cecil Vyse, then must face what she really feels. The comedy is gentle, but the choice is serious: a safe, dull life or an honest one.
