'A Room with a View' portrays the love of a British woman for an expatriate living in Italy. Caught up in a world of social snobbery, Forster''s heroine, Lucy Honeychurch, finds herself constrained by the claustrophobic influence of her British guardians, who encourage her to take up with a well-connected boor. In the end, however, Lucy takes control of her own fate and finds love with a man whose free spirit reminds her of "a room with a view."
