What this book is about
Lucy Honeychurch travels to Florence with her cousin and chaperone, where she encounters the free-spirited George Emerson. Back in the English countryside, she becomes engaged to the correct, cerebral Cecil Vyse — before realizing that the constraints of class and convention are killing what Italy awakened in her. Forster's most accessible and romantic novel.
