The Booksellers NZ 2012/13 summer reading will begin on the longest day: Friday 21 December 2012.
We will be reading A Room with a View by E.M. Forster.
A Room with a View is a 1908 novel by English writer E. M. Forster, about a young woman in the repressed culture of Edwardian era England. Set in Italy and England, the story is both a romance and a critique of English society at the beginning of the 20th century.
Merchant-Ivory produced an award-winning film adaptation in 1985.
