Another great post. Thank you :) I used to love the Merchant Ivory films - particularly A Room With A View - Julian Sands, HBC and the adorable Denholm Elliott.
What a great post about One Fine Day – though the problem with your excellent Substack is that you're making my 'To be read' pile extremely high. Though please do write about A Room With A View one (fine) day too - I would love your take on it. I too was smitten with the film – it was very special to me and I will happily rewatch it – and those photos above are... well... yes, indeed, come on. And thank you for sharing my newsletter - I'm very honoured, especially from a writer such as yourself, I am not worthy. XX
I will definitely do a Forster newsletter one of these days. People used to/like to sneer at all those Merchant Ivory films, but they’re magnificent, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala had a lot to do with it. And thanks so much for the recommendation, Amy: actually I AM NOT WORTHY. xx
It's an interesting novel, lots going on beneath a fairly ordinary domestic surface. Wonderful prose, a paean to England. Somehow generous to itself. And if you like Mrs Dalloway ...

Thanks for reading, Victoria. And YES re. Denholm Elliott. No one know about love like Mr Emerson.
