A vibrant portrait of Edwardian England, Howards End examines personal relationships and conflicting values. The Schlegel sisters, Margaret and Helen, and their brother, Tibby, place their values in civilized living, music, literature, and conversation with their friends. The Wilcoxes, Henry and his children Charles, Paul, and Evie, are concerned with the business side of life and distrust emotions and imagination.

Howards End, a charming country house in Hertfordshire that belonged to Henry Wilcox's first wife, becomes the object of an inheritance dispute between the Wilcox family and the Schlegel sisters. Through romantic entanglements, disappearing wills, and sudden tragedy, the conflict over the house emerges as a symbolic struggle for England's very future.

If I continue to listen to these very wonderful English performances, because they are performances, I shall develop a decidedly English accent.

Just a great entertainment!!!

Excellent

While I loved the 1992 movie adaptation of this book, with stellar performances by an unforgettable cast, the book delves in with so much more detail, depth leaving many questions open-ended and left for the reader to contemplate and answer individually. Not only is the question of class distinctions held up for scrutiny, so is gender disparity and the entire concept of gentrification, shining a light on the dignity and value of work for its own sake, along with holistic education verses abstracting and/or rote memorization and skimming along the surface of great authors' ideals.

Forster's novel, Howards End, is a multi-coursed banquet of life lessons to consider, ponder, and "connect" with. I cannot gush over this masterful literary work enough! If you haven't read it yet, it timeless and should be part of everyone's soul!

A Must!

The narrator had the same voice all over! Found it boring after a while! Couldn’t finish it. Too many details!

Tiresome
