Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, William Orpen and Spencer Gore. A widow from suburban England marries an Italian dentist's son twelve years younger in a Tuscan hill town, and her late husband's family sends someone to bring her home — then someone else. Forster was twenty-six and had just come back from Italy; his first novel already does the thing he never stopped doing, which is to let two respectable people cause a catastrophe out of pure good intentions. Fifty-eight plates, from Munch to Orpen, follow the story's turn from garden to street, from Regent Street to the ruins of the Somme.
