My rating: 5 (of 5) “stars”
I bought a paperback copy of this book, published in 2012 by Penguin Random House.
Originally published in 1908, the book’s story takes place in the early 1900s — “contemporary literature” at the time of its publication.
E. M. Forster tells the story of a young woman, Lucy Honeychurch, who falls in love with the “wrong” man. “Wrong,” as he belongs to a lower social class than she.
This is basically the story of a young woman who, in the end, breaks free from society’s expectations of how women should lead their lives.
Feminist literature, brilliantly written by a man. This story is as relevant today, as it was over a century ago.
