About the book

A young woman tests the boundaries of middle-class Edwardian life in E. M. Forster's classic novel. In the first blush of young womanhood, Lucy Honeychurch arrives in Florence, Italy, to discover that the rooms with a view in which she had expected to stay have instead been let to a young gentleman and his father. And while the men in question make clear their intention to vacate the rooms in Lucy's favour, Miss Honeychurch and her chaperone are not entirely sure of the propriety of that action. It is only through her budding relationship with the Emersons that Lucy comes to question the strictures of Edwardian society, and to choose for herself the kind of life she wishes to lead. Be it mystery, romance, drama, comedy, politics, or history, great literature stands the test of time.
