Full Description

A Room with a View follows Lucy Honeychurch, a young Englishwoman touring Italy with her fussy cousin and chaperone, Charlotte Bartlett. At a pension in Florence, the outspoken Mr. Emerson and his son George offer to swap rooms so the ladies can have a view, and soon a sudden kiss among the violets throws Lucy’s careful world into confusion. Back home in Surrey, she becomes engaged to the snobbish Cecil Vyse, but George is never far away. The original story in clear, modern language, with all the humour, romance, and sharp social comedy of E. M. Forster’s classic. It’s a warm, witty listen about following your heart instead of what’s expected.
