I reread this book every year or two and I'm never sorry that I did.
A bit difficult to read through, but worth it to experience Lucy and George's interactions and relationship.
The first Forster I read was A Passage to India, which I did not at all like. But the two Forsters I've read since (this and Howards End) have been much more enjoyable. This is so short as to be practically a novella and tells the brief story of Lucy, a young English woman who travels with her cousin to Florence and meets a father and son when they offer to exchange their rooms, which overlook the Arno, with those of the two women and come to change her life forever. It's lighthearted and amusingly mocking of the milieu it depicts but has a fundamental sweetness.
