  So bittersweetly delightful... Somewhat reminescent of Henry James, but just somewhat. I can't help seeing Lucy as a more constricted Isabel Archer. And that funny (or perhaps not so funny, after all...) notion od the power Italy has of melting some layer of Britishness...

  ***1/2
  Lovely characters, delightful story, much-appreciated irony and wit. I'm not sure I liked the lovebirds in the very last chapter: one expects overwhelming passion for love and life and gets Lucy mending a sock instead.

  I've lost the count of how many times I've read this book. It's witty and funny, with in addition a flavour of romanticism. With Pride and Prejudice, this is the book I use to fight bad mood!

• Great light reading. Memorable characters. Forester does a marvelous job with charcter development and adding depth to seemingly dry personalities. Another re-read!

  The English. Tuscany. Forster can be quite hard to read at times, but this is much more approachable than most of his other novels.

  Best descriptions of being confused by first-love I've ever read!
