Forster`s brilliant social comedy is a witty observation of the English middle classes as they holiday abroad in Florence. One of these tourists is Lucy Honeychurch, a young girl whose `undeveloped heart` is awakened by her experiences in Italy and by her encounter with the unconventional George Emerson. Lucy finds herself torn between un-English passion and stifling Victorian propriety, personified in her pretentious fiancé Cecil Vyse and her dismal cousin Charlotte, until she learns to follow the power of her own heart.

Jack is five. He lives with his Ma. They live in a single, locked room. They don`t have the key. Jack and Ma are prisoners. `Room is a book to read in one sitting. When it`s over you look up: the world looks the same but you are somehow different and that feeling lingers for days` - Audrey Niffenegger. `One of the most profoundly affecting books I`ve read in a long time` - John Boyne. `Such incredible imagination, and dazzling use of Room is unlike anything I`ve ever read before` - Anita Shreve. `Room is that rarest of entities, an entirely original work of art. I mean it as the highest possible praise when I tell you that I can`t compare it to any other book. Suffice to say that it`s potent, darkly beautiful, and revelatory` - Michael...

In the work of interior designer Suzanne Tucker, art and artifact collections are displayed to best advantage for daily enjoyment by their owners, custom-mixed wall colors are set off by richly sensual textiles and forms, and inherited pieces are blended with newly found treasures to bestow a subtle aura of age and permanence.
