A young Edwardian-era girl's first visit to Florence turns out to hold surprises in impropriety, confusion and passion. Set in the early 1900's. Tells the story of the coming of age of Lucy Honeychurch. Longing to burst free from the repression of British upper class manners and mores, she must wrestle with her inner romantic longings to choose between the passionate George and the priggish but socially suitable Cecil.
