E.M. Forster’s “A Room With A View”, published in 1908, is a classic coming of age tale about a young woman attempting to find herself in the strict culture of Edwardian England. Beginning in Florence, Italy where Lucy Honeychurch and her chaperone Charlotte Bartlett meet Mr. Emerson and his son George while on vacation. Lucy, engaged to the stuffy Cecil Vyse, is simultaneously repelled by and attracted to George, and struggles to reconcile her feelings. The subject of an award-winning 1985 film adaptation by Merchant Ivory, and one of Modern Library’s top 100 english-language novels of the 20th century.
