E.M. Forster's classic tale of love among the middle classes, set largely in Florence. It's the early 20th century story of a young English woman who finds passion in Italy, but must face somewhat grim choices back home in England. Forster's prose is of course shimmering, Florence itself is lovingly evoked, and one gets a great sense of what grand travel abroad was like for the English in their glory days.  (ITL142, $9.95)
