A Room With A View

E.M. Forster's 1908 romantic comedy is a sparkling critique of Edwardian propriety and a celebration of passion over convention. Lucy Honeychurch is a proper young Englishwoman on holiday in Florence when a series of encounters with the unconventional George Emerson awakens something in her that her stuffy fiancé Cecil could never reach. Torn between the expectations of her class and the stirrings of her heart, Lucy must choose between a life of comfortable mediocrity and the terrifying freedom of following her own desires. Witty, romantic, and surprisingly modern, A Room With A View remains one of the great love stories in English literature. A Raven's Gate Classics edition with luminous new cover art.
