I own it because it’s part of the two-in-one edition that includes Room With A View, which I actually have read. I’ve been meaning to read this book for years now.
I’ve had a dusty old paperback edition on my shelves for over a decade! Thus as Forster sets in motion a chain of events that will entangle three different families, he brilliantly portrays their aspirations to personal and social harmony. When Mrs Wilcox dies, her family discovers that she wants to leave her country home, Howards End, to Margaret. As clear-eyed Margaret develops a friendship with Mrs Wilcox, the impetuous Helen brings into their midst a young bank clerk named Leonard Bast, who lives at the edge of poverty and ruin. What it’s about (synopsis via Goodreads) :Ī chance acquaintance brings together the preposterous bourgeois Wilcox family and the clever, cultured and idealistic Schlegel sisters.
