Good evening and welcome to the Sleepy Bookshelf.
This season we are reading a room with a view by EM4ster.
“Now we know our listeners are as unique as our novels and lucky for you.”
Our bookshelf is varied with lots of different types of stories to loll you into a deep sleep. The following is a trailer to give you an idea of what to expect from this season. Edward Morgan forster was an English author and is considered one of the most successful novelists of the Edwardian era. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, 22 separate years, and even declined
a knighthood in 1949.
“After attending school in Kent, Forster studied history in classics at King's College in Cambridge.”
He then travelled throughout Europe before publishing his first novel.
He is best known for titles such as Howa's End, a passage to India and of course, every room with a view which we will be reading tonight. A room with a view was published in 1908 and is a romantic novel following the central character Lucy Honeychard, who is visiting Italy with her cousin.
Their Shakespearean says a world far freer and more passionate than the rigid society she
has been brought up in. Back in England, Lucy's security sensible engagement with a match that fits social expectations, but it isn't long before Lucy is forced to think about what she really wants. This novel is going to take all and ask sleepy bookshelf boxes and should be perfect for this time of year.
So we hope you will join us. However, if you decide that a room with a view isn't your cup of tea, feel free to explore the rest of the bookshelf, where we are sure you will find something to help guide you into a restful sleep. Don't forget, our premium subscription offers additional stories to choose from. We just finished reading some short stories by Ian Forster.
You can sign up whenever you'd like and listen to bonus content like that, between the seasons on the main feed or as an alternative to them. If you are already supporting us, we thank you so much.
“And remember, if there is a book you would like to hear, or you simply want to offer some”
feedback, you can reach out to me directly on social media or in the link in the show notes. So if it's time for bed, why not choose an episode, get cozy, and you will be asleep in no time. Otherwise, I hope to see you very soon at the Sleepy Bookshelf.
