Lucy Honeychurch and her older cousin Miss Bartlett, tour Italy in the springtime. However, the pension they are staying at may as well be in London. The proprietress speaks a London cockney, the meat is overdone, and their windows give them a view of dirty alleys. However, when the socially clumsy Mr. Emerson offer to exchange rooms, this does anything but remedy the situation. You see, nobody knows what to make of the Emersons. It's so hard to know how to respond to people who speak the truth.

A young woman comes of age in 1907 - inspiring!in
From Liz Shaw of Gilbert, Arizona on .
A lovely story. I saw the movie when it came out in 1986, and I would love to see it again now that I've listened to this audiobook. The narrator brings out the depth in some of the critical scenes in the book in a way that I didn't feel in the movie. I enjoyed this immensely.
Fantastically performed; lovely book.
From Laura Ricketts of Rochester, Indiana on .
I remember loving this movie when it came out in 85. I really loved listening to it, remembering all the scenes.
I was startled how much the movie kept faithfully to the book. The book is, of course, better! And, so much more so with the fantastic performance of B.J. Harrison. His voices, his inflections -- even his pauses. He's got it all down, and makes it come to life. Highly recommend.
Very highly recommended

Always a great pleasure to listen to classic tales while I work that I would not otherwise have time to read.
Great story and awesome narration
From Katie Kuhn of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on .
I love when B.J. does lady voices...and this one is chock-full! Definitely worth a listen. Thanks, Classic Tales, for keeping these audiobooks so affordable. I'm mowing through them!
Love the different voices!
From Anonymous of Los Angeles, California on .
I just love the quality of the reading and the use of different voices. It's very engaging.
More romantic classics, please! Jane Austen, for example
