About this deal

On the day before his wedding to Anna, her stepfather, whom she is close to, has a heart attack, and Martyn while looking for her, finds the address to her secret flat. The title for review comes from the novel, and seems the most quoted whenever the book is discussed. Instead of being ours to mould and shape after our best knowledge and endeavour, they are themselves. He will always be Freddy Honeychurch in Room with a View for me (yes, I know he has been in dozens of things since Room but I’ve avoided those other things and the character of Martyn is just all wrong for Freddy. Be it awakening from deep sleep rather than shallow existence, from not feeling into being powerfully overwhelmed by emotions, from building a false self, into being released from the pretenses, from longing for wealth and success into being fused with the significant Other.

A shocking novel about passion and betrayal, about a British politician who, in the prime of life and seems to have everything causes his own downfall through an inappropriate relationship.When the unnamed narrator, a reputable physician and rising MP, meets mysterious, compelling Anna Barton, ``the shock of recognition passed through my body like a powerful current. He is a man who appears to have everything: wealth, a beautiful wife and children, and a prestigious political career in Parliament. Anna immediately acknowledges the erotic bond between them, and the two begin a frenzied affair, its moral complications exacerbated by the fact that Anna is the narrator's son's fiancee.

Dazed and utterly confused, he tumbles backwards, hits the low banister and falls down the stairwell.This book cannot be considered on a morality spectrum about the failings of the 20th century London ruling elite. I have read all of her five novels and eagerly awaited the next one when by chance learned of her death.

One can visualise it as if it were a long fox-tail she wore elegantly and defiantly through all her adult life. Readers may find the prose overly mannered, however, and the novel more successful as an emotional tour de force than as a credible study of human nature. We believe that the untried soul, trapped in its young prison, might have flown free and known the joy that we still seek.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.
