Beautiful prose. A relatively slow start in part 1 and even the first half of part 2, but then it accelerates wonderfully and really had me actually caring for the characters.
4.5 ⭐️- Lindo, todos os ambientes deste livro, e as conversas em Florença sobre arte. A maneira como o Forster consegue descrever as emoções chegou a ser desconfortável, de tao familiar que era. Mais um livro para reler daqui a uns anos.

Very slow character development, no truly likeable characters. Main characters not self aware
I loved the movie with Helena Bonham Carter but I love the book even more. Forster's writing is gorgeous both in what he says and in what he leaves unsaid. The subtext of unspoken homosexuality, the structures (and transgressions) of gender norms, and the different ways in which each character evokes his or her impulse toward creation -- worth a second read just for further examination.
The "sacred pool" is the crux around which the second half of the book revolves -- a symbol that masterfully evokes the ebb and flow of timeless impulses. Also interesting to note is the kernel of the modern age that has just begun to sprout from Victorian soil.
