Summary:Take your seaside arms and write the next line // I want the truth to be known...

Lucia Honeychurch has her whole life mapped out for her. A quiet post in an Anglican college; a good marriage to a respectable, dull church type. When she and her cousin Charlotte head to Florence for a senior trip, she thinks she'll enjoy nothing more than statues, Fellini and some pasta.

Then she meets her tour guide's artist son. And suddenly, the notion of living a life of just 'good enough' isn't worth entertaining. Will she do the proper thing and marry a closeted vicar-to-be with money but no passion? or will George's arrival in England upend everything?

Or: A Room with a View: 1980's style
