A Room With A View

I really liked this book by EM Forster.  It was entertaining- something was happening almost all the time. (Not like a page-turner like Hunger Games or Harry Potter, but for a classic it was very entertaining).  First off, it was a romance, set in Italy and England.  An English girl goes to Italy and begins to find herself.  It shows a type of independence of women- a woman who wants to speak her mind and be herself while still holding to the traditional culture of being a woman and staying at home.  There are two men involved- one which is compared to a room, while Lucy is compared to having a view.  I liked the story and the symbolism that was tied in throughout the whole book.
