5.0 out of 5 stars
A book that should be read at least twice over one's life!,

This review is from: A Room with a View (Paperback)
A wonderful, perfect book by EM Forster, (Howards End) Howards End that is just a joy to read. A delightful and interesting story of love and romance, as well as social and human interest. Set in Italy and England, the different cultures, do different from the starched collar of the English, and the romantic easy going Italians.
Truly a delightful, joy to read, and a book that should be read at least twice over one's life! Enjoy!

It's one of those books we MUST read sometime, so why not treat yourself today?,
By Felicity Barrington "Seeking Sunshine in Seattle" (The Wet Coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Room with a View (Paperback)
In my opinion, Forster was one of the most gifted English writers of his time. He produced wonderful sentences with the perfect word mix - a wordsmith almost of Shakespeare's quality. In his famous 'Room with a View' we begin at an English Guest house in Florenece, Italy. Lucy and her cousin Charlotte are amongst the guests, and are given a room with a view by the spontaneous Emmersons, George and his father. Lucy is the central character, and will soon witness a murder; after which, she is immediately comforted by George Emmerson who later kisses her on an outing in the hills. The story then relocates to England and the Emmersoms have taken residence near her home....
Not only a superb love story, but a first rate satire along the lines of Austen (some will say better?). A novel thoroughly enjoyable from the first page to the last. It's heart-warming, a love story, and very funny. It completely charmed me. If you have never read this charming book, now is the time, it's one of those books we MUST read sometime, so why not treat yourself today? |
