Situada entre una Florencia todavía virgen del azote del turismo pero integrada en el “grand tour” de los viajeros europeos y la rígida Inglaterra victoriana, la novela desarrolla una historia de amor y sentimientos encontrados en cuyo transcurso Lucy Honeychurch, joven perteneciente a la buena sociedad inglesa, intenta abrir camino a su personalidad superando el obstáculo de las convenciones sociales. Have seen the film but had not read the book. Well written and I found the notes at the beginning very helpful to understanding Forster and his background. I found Lucy an unsympathetic character, it other characters well drawn and it was an enjoyable read. I read this in the Serial Reader app, but I don’t recommend reading it that way. The daily passages were too short (some fewer than 10 minutes of reading), and it just wasn’t enough time to immerse myself in the story. In the end, I skipped ahead and had a much better experience with the book. I still love Serial Reader. Just not for a book this short. Lucy Honeychurch is a frustrating protagonist, and I often wanted to reach into the book and shake her, but I liked the portrayal of her slow transformation from being steered by everyone in her life to thinking for herself and gaining independence. It bothered me a little that she needed to be steered by someone else to take the final step to independence, but I also like that it wasn’t a black and white transformation. I loved the Emersons. I loved Mr. Beebe, mostly. I was confused by his behavior in the end. I didn’t have a strong sense of every character, which made their motivations occasionally hard to understand. But I loved the way the author wrote, and there was much highlighting of delightful phrases as I read. On to a rewatch of the movie. I can’t wait. Lucy Honeychurch está em sua primeira viagem à Itália com sua prima Charlotte quando conhece o intelectualmente desafiador, mas socialmente inaceitável George Emerson. Eles compartilham um beijo apaixonado, mas Charlotte acaba com o caso. Lucy, mais tarde , fica noiva do mais aceitável e arrogante Cecil Vyse, o que parece selar-lhe o destino. Mas, de volta à Inglaterra, uma série de coincidências traz George para o círculo social de Lucy mais uma vez. Ela terá força para escolher coragem, verdade e amor sobre as convenções? O romance clássico de E. M. Forster versa sobre as consequências e recompensas de ser-fiel à sua verdadeira natureza.
E M Forsters romantext präglas av en oerhört njutbar balans mellan utsagt och outsagt, mellan ytlig elegans och underförstådda referenser till en betydligt dunklare verklighet.

This Edwardian social comedy explores love and prim propriety among an eccentric cast of characters assembled in an Italian pensione and in a corner of Surrey, England. A charming young English woman, Lucy Honeychurch, faints into the arms of a fellow Britisher when she witnesses a murder in a Florentine piazza. Attracted to this man, George Emerson--who is entirely unsuitable and whose father just may be a Socialist--Lucy is soon at war with the snobbery of her class and her own conflicting desires. Back in England she is courted by a more acceptable, if stifling, suitor, and soon realizes she must make a startling decision that will decide the course of her future: she is forced to choose between convention and passion.

Preach sister!
Awakenings abound in this fantastic short novel! I loved reading about Lucy's growing conflicting feelings on society's expectations that women are to be protected and informed on how to behave, and her emerging confidence in her own judgement and desire for self determination. I wasn't wooed by the romance in the book. To me, it was Lucy's journey that was captivating. I also absolutely loved the final reveal about a supposedly ‘dreadful frozen Charlotte’. A book filled with sumptuous writing and wonderful symbolism. A must read.
It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal. (
