The L-Shaped Room	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1960 novel by Lynne Reid Banks. Set in the late 1950s, it follows Jane, a young unmarried pregnant woman who moves to a London boarding house filled with misfits and befriends them, especially a young writer named Toby. They begin a relationship, only for Jane's secret to be exposed; however, she finds help from the other boarders as her due date arrives.Two sequels were published: The Backward Shadow (1970) and Two is Lonely (1974).The first novel was adapted into a 1962 film of the same name, directed by Bryan Forbes and starring Leslie Caron.The movie is seen as a example of Kitchen Sink Realism and did very well with Caron earning herself the Golden Globe Award and BAFTA Award for best actress, as well as a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

The L-Shaped Room / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: There is several edits from the book to novel: The novel has a lot of characters and many get cut or mixed with others. Backstories are also cut from the movie like Toby being Jewish. Jane in the book is prejudiced towards Johnny despite their friendship and says a few homophobic things. However she changes after her pregnancy is revealed and she is shunned.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
