A Room With a View - Unabridged

One of E.M. Forster's most beloved and critically-acclaimed works, "A Room With a View" follows the journeys - both abroad and romantically - of young Lucy Honeychurch, a British girl during the Edwardian era with a distinctly independent nature. On a trip to Italy, with her chaperone in tow, Lucy encounters a Mr. Emerson and his son George. Both men are free-thinkers, unbound by the strictures of the day, and as they continue to run into each other on the trip, Lucy starts to become secretly enamored of George. After witnessing a murder in Florence (from which chaotic scene George rescues her), Lucy accidentally stumbles upon him again in a field where - overcome by both her beauty and the romantic setting - George kisses Lucy...and the couple parts. Once again home, Lucy becomes engaged to the snobbish and rather pretentious Cecil...and then learns that the Emersons have moved to the local village. This sets the scene for the question: Will Lucy will bow to convention and marry the society-approved Cecil....or break the engagement and run away with George? A classic of early 20th century literature, "A Room With a View" has been adapted numerous times for the stage and screen, most notably for the 1985 Oscar-winning Merchant Ivory film starring Helena Bonham Carter as Lucy, Maggie Smith as Charlotte and Julian Sands as George. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
