E. M. Forster Retold by Maud Jackson Activities by Justin Rainey Human interest Lucy Honeychurch is a young woman travelling in Italy with her older cousin Miss Charlotte Bartlett. Miss Bartlett has very clear ideas of how a young lady should act, and her very Victorian sense of propriety comes into conflict with Lucy's desire for romance. In this charming and delicate social comedy, Forster paints a subtle and ironic picture of the British middle classes in the first years of the twentieth century.
