A Room with a View

<p>In the sunlit hills of Florence young Lucy Honeychurch encounters a passion that threatens to upend her carefully ordered English life. When she exchanges rooms at the Pension Bertolini for one with a view of the Arno she unknowingly opens a window onto a world of possibility-and into the heart of the unconventional George Emerson.</p><p>Back in the manicured gardens of Surrey Lucy becomes engaged to the refined and bloodless Cecil Vyse a match that promises respectability and status. But she cannot forget the intensity of that spring in Italy nor the questions it awakened in her about duty desire and what it means to truly live.</p><p>With wit warmth and devastating insight E. M. Forster illuminates the quiet rebellion of a young woman torn between the stifling conventions of Edwardian England and the call of her own heart. A timeless comedy of manners that asks: Will Lucy choose the view or will she turn away from the window?</p>
