A Room with a View (Cuppa Classics)

Description

‘Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice.’

A Room with a View is a powerful tale of awakening—of a young woman’s journey from repression to self-discovery. Set between the sunlit landscapes of Florence and the stiff drawing rooms of Edwardian England, it follows Lucy Honeychurch as she grapples with the contrast between passion and propriety, instinct and social expectation.

A chance encounter in Italy with the unconventional George Emerson challenges everything Lucy has been taught about love, class, and how a woman ought to behave.

With wit, irony, and deep compassion, Forster exposes the constraints of polite society and the internal rebellion it takes to live authentically. Romantic and radical, A Room with a View endures as a classic meditation on freedom of the mind, the heart, and the soul.
