A Room with a View

E. M. Forster

A Room With A View by E.M. Forster is at its heart a classic love story, played out within the strict social and class structures of Edwardian England. The author explores many aspects of his contemporary society, but the story could have been written in any time, as the themes are universal. At times the prose is magically descriptive, the dialogue razor sharp. Lucy, the heroine, must find herself, as well as confront the restrictions and expectations of her upbringing in society, and her family. Narrated by Graham Stuart, this book comes alive and transports the listener totally into the scenes.
