A sunny, brilliantly witty comedy of manners, this edition of A Room with a View is part of the Penguin Essentials collection and features beautiful cover art by Chris Silas Neal'You love the boy body and soul, plainly, directly, as he loves you . . .'

in deze heerlijke sociale komedie werkt Forster een van zijn favoriete thema's uit: het 'onontwikkelde' hart van de Engelse middenklasse, die in dit boek vertegenwoordigd worden door een groep toeristen in Florence. Engelsen in het buitenland staan bekend om hun scherpe tong, maar een van hen - de jonge Lucy Honeychurch - wekt ook veel sympathie op. In deze uitgave trouwens ook 'A view without a room' van Forster
