A Room With a View- E.M. Forster

Finished this book set in the Edwardian era England about a girl, her romance, and her freedom of choice and decision making. It was a nice little light and humorous tale which dealt with really setrious topics like the women’s freedom, their repressed situation and also about passionate love rather than the convenient love. Novel ends with a happy note and is pertty optimistic. There are some hilarious scenes and comic characters. There is a lot of symbolism at work. In fact, the title itself implies about open mindedness and forward thinking.

All in all it was a fun read and threw light upon the conditions which prevailed for a woman in those years. How society was and what were the expectations is what is shown.

I feel that the story would be a brilliant script to be cast into a play or a movie. A movie has been made on it and has won awards too. Will see it sometime.
