Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A Room with a View is a 1908 novel written by E. M. Forster.The protagonist is Lucy Honeychurch, a young English woman travelling to Florence for the first time during The Edwardian Era. She befriends the eccentric Mr. Emerson and his handsome, philosophical son George, and begins to feel confused about her feelings for the latter, especially when he kisses her in a violet field. When she returns to England, she begins an engagement with the conventional Cecil Vyse, who is very unlike George. However, soon she receives word that the Emersons have moved into a nearby cottage…The story was adapted by Merchant Ivory into an award-winning 1985 film starring Helena Bonham-Carter, Julian Sands, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, and Daniel Day-Lewis. It has also been made into a stage play, a BBC radio series, and a 2007 film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Betty and Veronica Switch: A gender-flipped example. Progressive and unconventional George Emerson is initially the Veronica; he kisses Lucy passionately without any of the "proper" courtship that Cecil Vyse (the initial Betty) goes through. However, George turns out to be the suitor who is far more suited to Lucy and more considerate of what she wants.

Brutal Honesty: A trait of Mr. Emerson, as described in the very first chapter. It plays a crucial role near the end of the story when Mr. Emerson delivers a long and impassioned speech to Lucy about how obvious it is that she loves his son George and is in denial of it; he is willing to shock and upset her to an extreme so that she will wake up to herself.

Adaptational Alternate Ending: The 2007 film substitutes its own epilogue for Forster's, having George die in the First World War.

Bookends: The 1985 film ends with Lucy and George returning to the same pensione in Florence, where a stranger is upset about not having a room with a view. George echoes his father's line from the beginning of the story: "We have a view..."
