Visiting Italy with her prim and proper cousin Charlotte as
a chaperone, Lucy Honeychurch meets the unconventional
lower-class Mr. Emerson and his son, George. Upon her
return to England she becomes engaged to the supercilious
Cecil Vyse, but finds herself increasingly torn between the
expectations of the world in which she moves and the
passionate yearnings of her heart. As Forster writes, "You
can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never
pull it out of you." More than a love story, A Room With a
View is a perceptive examination of class structure and a
penetrating social comedy.
