Story
Long overshadowed by Jane Eyre, Villette is widely admired as one of Charlotte Bronte's finest works. This story of a young teacher at a girl's school in the city of Villette is a particular challenge for the young reader, for it requires maturity of vision, a fine narrative sense - and a command of French! Mandy Weston, a newcomer to Naxos AudioBooks, tells the story magnificently.

Publisher's Summary
In this rich new audio production, acclaimed British American actress Rebecca Hall brings one of E. M. Forster's most admired works to life in this classic tale of human struggle.
A charming young Englishwoman, Lucy Honeychurch, is wooed by both free-spirited George Emerson and wealthy Cecil Vyse while vacationing in Italy. Though attracted to George, Lucy becomes engaged to Cecil despite twice turning down his proposals. On hearing of the news, George confesses his love, leaving Lucy torn between marrying the more socially acceptable Cecil or George, the man she knows would bring her true happiness. Should Lucy choose social acceptance or true love?
It's both the quintessential Edwardian love story and a classic piece of social comedy, in which Forster is concerned with one of his favorite themes: the "undeveloped heart" of the English middle classes, here represented by a group of tourists and expatriates in Florence. Forster's disapproval of the era's restrictive conventions is reflected through his strong observation of character and society.
A Room with a View was ranked 79th on the Modern Library's list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. The 1985 film adaptation by James Ivory won three Oscars.
Narrator Biography
Rebecca Hall is an award-winning British-American actress with extensive credits in stage and screen, including leading roles in Christine, Professor Marston & the Wonder Women, Frost/Nixon, and Vicky Christina Barcelona. As the daughter of two theater veterans - the stage director and Royal Shakespeare Company founder Peter Hall and the opera singer Maria Ewing - Rebecca began acting from an early age, and her mastery of the craft is on full display in her nuanced performance of A Room With a View, her debut audiobook narration.

Why did I take so long to read this?!
I have watched the film so many times and love it’s languid unfolding and romance. The book is even more wonderful and I have enjoyed the narration.

Very Enjoyable
Firstly, Rebecca Hall did an excellent job narrating. She has a very pleasant voice and skillfully inflects her tone for each of the characters, so that you may ascertain who is speaking.
In relation to the story, it was very nice. Certainly not what I would call a brilliant work of art and definitely not one of my favourites. Forster managed to make me laugh at times, but for a romantic such as myself, I was disappointed that the interactions between Lucy and George are often brushed over whilst Forster goes into great detail into other less interesting things. If you were not familiar with the film, I would think you could sometimes become confused as to what exactly was transpiring, but that is to be expected of a book from this time, with more formal and different forms of writing and speech than our own.
