A Room with a View - Lynn's Take

There are many good literary reasons to like this book.  It's well written, it contains cutting social commentary, it references previous works of art and culture.  And I appreciate all that. Really, I do.  But here's why I like A Room with a View: It's a damned good love story.  A likable protagonist, An endearing love interest, a distasteful suiter, and a gaggle of interfering friends and neighbors... If it weren't so well written, it could be a Harlequin!
