The spin number in The Classics Club Spin is number …
which for me is A Room with a View by E M Forster. The rules of the Spin are that this is the book for me to read by 30th April, 2022.
This has been on my Classics Club List for ages, so it’s time I read it – I think I saw the film years ago.
Set in freewheeling Florence, Italy, and sober Surrey, England, E. M. Forster’s beloved third novel follows young Lucy Honeychurch’s journey to self-discovery at a transitional moment in British society. As Lucy is exposed to opportunities previously not afforded to women, her mind – and heart – must open. Before long, she’s in love with an “unsuitable” man and is faced with an impossible choice: follow her heart or be pressured into propriety.
A challenge to persistent Victorian ideals as well as a moving love story, A Room with a View has been celebrated for both its prescient view of women’s independence and its reminder to live an honest, authentic life. (Goodreads)

That’s a nice result. I thought it was an excellent book and want to read it again at some stage.

I loved Room when I read it many years ago, after (I will confess) seeing the movie, which I recall as being something of an art house hit. I hope you like it as much as I did!

I absolutely love this book and the film which taught me a lot about screenwriting (but that’s another story!)

I think I read it long ago, but I may be remembering the film rather than the book. Either way, I really enjoyed it! Hope it’s a good one for you. I’ll be reading Castle Rackrent which is great since I’ve wanted to read it for ages, and it’s very short!
