A ROOM WITH A VIEW explores love and prim propriety among a charming cast of eccentric characters assembled in Florence and in a corner of Surrey. When Lucy Honeychurch exchanges rooms with George Emerson to obtain a view of the Arno, she begins a friendship that will lead her to look closely at love and life itself. Forster delightfully delves into one of his favourite themes: the 'undeveloped heart' of the English middle classes.
