Acerca de esta escucha

When attractive, impulsive English widow Lilia takes a holiday in Italy, she causes a scandal by marrying Gino, a dashing and highly unsuitable Italian 12 years her junior. Her prim, snobbish in-laws make no attempt to hide their disapproval, and when Lilia's decision eventually brings disaster, her English relatives embark on an expedition to face the uncouth foreigner. But when they are confronted by the beauty of Italy and the charm and vitality of the disreputable Gino, they are forced to examine their own narrow lives. Their reactions are emotional, violent, and unexpected.

Great reading, well performed. Well written, just not my favorite story. Room With A View is just so good.

Not my favorite my EM Forster

Narrator is excellent. E.M.F.’s dialogue never disappoints. Short novella, definitely worth the time. Made into a movie as well.

Greatly Enjoyed

I wasn't sure I would like this story as I don't generally care for tragedies, but the beauty won me over. The beauty of the prose, the beauty of the imagery, the beauty of the tragedy.

I understand the complaint of inconsistent volume, but I think it lent itself well to the story, and I think it was intentional.

A Beautiful Tragedy

This is a great novel which brilliantly and amusingly contrasts English and Italian characters and cultures. We downloaded it to listen to on a drive, but eventually gave up because the narrator so often speaks so quietly that it was impossible to hear the words. This is an obvious flaw, and the editors/producers should have noticed it.

Great novel--but narration often too quiet

Th reader absolutely brings this story to life. A true tragedy that stays with you for it's so beautifully written.

Classic Must Read

I've read Howards End and loved it. It is beautifully woven, offers insights, makes you wonder - makes you, in fact, want to visit Howards End. Then I read A Room With a View - also enjoyable. Lighter, but a life and love affirming joy. And now I've finished Where Angels Fear to Tread ... you get much of the same class difference explorations and there's quite a twist early on, and a love story you hope will one day happen ... and then it packs a punch, a real punch. No spoilers, of course. Definitely on par with Forster's best works.

It packs a punch

A great little story told with so much heart. But why did the aristocracy get away with so much?

Another reason to dislike the Victorian aristocracy of England

Having received this as a free Audible book, I decided to give Forster a second chance. I realized in this book that they make me think of short, mediocre Jane Austen stories which end badly. This one was less constant drivel in the first half than was Room With a View, but never got much better than the better half of the latter. Its redemption for this reader was 1) Italy and 2) brevity.

Furthermore, the narrator started each sentence strongly, then faded into a whisper. It was impossible to hear the ends of sentences and sometimes he would whisper whole sentences to indicate they were only thinking, or said in a whisper. Tesrrible in an audiobook. I'm glad that 1) It took place in Italy, 2) It was free, and 2) It was short.

c.f. - A mediocre Austen with a bad ending.
