I'm revisiting books I read in college. Just before picking up this book again, I had reread (for the hundredth time) Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway" -- only to say, I find similarities in the wonderful humor of these authors!
In "A View of the Harbour," all the characters have ideas about one another and they're (most of them) wrong. Yet so certain are they of what they think! How it could it be any other way when they are so perceptive! A love triangle or two, just to make it interesting... wonderful social commentary all around, plenty of depth with the humor.
Writers--and in particular women writers--might especially appreciate this story, as the protagonist is a woman writer. I personally found myself chuckling over her great trails and tribulations with her writing, the absurdity of how it's presented. (Because I can relate? Maybeeee.)
