A sunny tale of love and liberation, A Room with a View is the story of Lucy, on holiday in Italy with her conservative cousin when she meets George Emerson, an unusual young man not of her class. Although drawn to him, on her return home she becomes engaged instead to Cecil, a comically dull gentleman from her own background. Sundrenched and optimistic, and including many issues which troubled the Edwardian public - radical thinking, women's suffrage, the constrictions of English social rules - this is a brilliantly witty love story.
