Room With A View.1

Being a Forester nerd myself, I have to admit that this book always leaves me contemplating the rules and regulations of high society. Is it really ok to take the Emersons' rooms? What exactly is the deal with Baedecker? The character of Lucy has always been an interesting place to start, in my brain, as she is stuck between what she wants and where she should be, what is it right and proper for her to do. I think that the biggest moment, the biggest chance for change, and yet, somehow always the biggest letdown, for me, no matter her change, comes directly from Lucy herself. In every Forester novel there is a big letdown for me, someone who I always have the big hopes for, the character that I see maybe even a bit of myself in perhaps, and the, once again, the big let down. It will be interesting to evaluate this book based purely on itself and in light of its 'quest' or 'building out and growing up' aspects. For now, I will sit back and read A Room With A View, once again, with high hopes for a character who never fails to let me down.
