In the end, she breaks the tradition and the lovers finally get married. "A Room with a View" is the most famous of Forster's "Italian novels". It praises the brave pursuit and eager yearning for love and free life of awakened women, and profoundly exposes the pride and prejudice of the British middle and upper classes.
