Which sentence sounds better:
"Who is she speaking to?"
or
"To whom is she speaking?".
As I see, the both are grammatically correct, whereas books have the former example and in speech I notice the latter.

2I would say/write "Who is she speaking to?" pretty much all of the time. The only exception would be if you're wanting to make a point of sounding pompous/old-fashioned for effect – then you could say "To whom is she speaking?". – Graham Nicol Oct 06 '15 at 16:05

Also, when speaking most people would probably contract who is and say "Who's she speaking to?" – Graham Nicol Oct 06 '15 at 16:08
