The History of Literature #469 — A Room with a View by E.M. Forster (with Gina Buonaguro)

Since its publication in 1908, E.M. Forster’s classic novel A Room with a View, which tells the story of a young Englishwoman who finds a romantic adventure during a trip to Florence, has inspired countless travelers to expand their minds and warm their hearts with a tour through Italy. In this episode, Jacke talks to historical and romance novelist Gina Buonaguro about her love for Forster’s work, her own use of Italy as a setting, and her most recent novel The Virgins of Venice.
