First published in 1908, this novel by the author of A Passage to India displays Forster's skill in contrasting British sensibilities with those of foreign cultures, as he portrays the love of a British woman for an expatriate living in Italy. Forster's heroine, Miss Lucy Honeychurch, is caught up in a world of social snobbery. Unable to free herself of the claustrophobic influence of her British guardians, she is encouraged to take up with a well-connected boor of a man. But in the end, Honeychurch accepts responsibility for her own life, discovering true love with a man whose sense of freedom reminds her on a room with a view.
Wonderully written. This story was made into a motion picture.
