Publisher's Synopsis
Join us for the classic social comedy of forbidden romance during the repressive Edwardian era in Great Britain. As Lucy Honeychurch travels through Italy, she is pressured by her family to marry a "respectable man" that they approve of. No one likes him, but his money is attractive. However, Lucy is in love with another man who is nice, but not as well-off. Torn between her desires and society's expectations, Lucy is forced to struggle against the strait-laced attitudes and make a fateful decision. This novel was the basis for the motion picture starring Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Daniel Day-Lewis, Helena Bonham Carter and Denholm Elliott.
