Rooms with Views: Two Novels

ID : 1403   
« back to classes page
ClassGraphic How does a visit to Italy expand an English youth’s view of the world, and how does the viewer’s existing worldview shape that expansive experience? E. M. Forster’s A Room with a View (1922) follows Lucy Honeychurch through a year in Florence, chaperoned by an obnoxiously considerate cousin. Sarah Winman’s Still Life (2021) brings us Ulysses Temper, driving for the British army, and follows him from 1944 to 1979. Both novels are richly compassionate as they show us young people coming of age amid glorious art and dubious social assumptions. And both are simply fun to read.
