Howards End
The idealistic Schlegel sisters, the wealthy Wilcox family, and struggling clerk Leonard Bast become linked through friendship, marriage, property, and unequal access to security. A disputed promise involving the country house Howards End exposes the ways class privilege can erase intentions that inconvenience the powerful. Margaret Schlegel's marriage to Henry Wilcox requires her to test connection against moral compromise as consequences reach beyond their own household. Intelligent and humane, this novel suits a country weekend for readers who enjoy intersecting families, English landscapes, social inequality, and the enduring question of how to connect inner values with material life.
