Book review - A room with a view

 I believe the main themes of this novel are love, emancipation, travel and human development and religion.

Love. Lucy is a young and naive girl. She does not realise that George, at one point in Rome, starts to love her. It is, however, an unspoken love. On her trip to Rome with her cousin Charlotte, Lucy feels pretty alone and left behind and soon she encounters Mr. Emerson and his son George. At the end of their stay in Rome, George makes a brave decision to kiss Lucy. Lucy, being a well-raised lady, is pretty shocked by this and holds it against him throughout the rest of the book. In the second part of the book they meet again and Lucy denies his love for George, also because she is engaged to Cecil. Not until the very end, does George tell her how he feels. Lucy breaks up with Cecil, but still denies her love. Not until a very good conversation with George’s father does she realise how she feels.
