It was very predictable, for one, and I didn't at all like how it ended. I thought the Wilcoxes, with the exception of the first Mrs. Wilcox, were absolutely intolerable. I can't understand how Wilcox's second wife put up with his unapologetic selfishness and hypocrisy---she's a greater woman than I. I get it that Forster was trying to remain neutral, for the most part, but I don't think that's how modern readers see this story. I don't think the Schlegel's remained equal in the end and I think that's why it's left a sour taste in my mouth. What is actually very intriguing about this story is that it was published (only just) before the world wars would change England and Germany and the world's view of them and their view of the world forever. The emotions, actions and reactions that fueled this story don't exist in our world anymore, making it an excellent study in pre-war history. I thoroughly enjoyed this 1910 classic! I had (of course) seen the Merchant-Ivory film adaptation before but I found the book had more depth to it. The film was true to the plot but the book contained some philosophical themes, such as what things are worth striving for in life, which the film understandably couldn't portray as well (or at all).
"The season's great novel" "A fine novel" "My impression is that the writer is a woman of a quality of mind comparable to that of the Findlater sisters or to May Sinclair."

HTML: Howards End is a masterful discussion of changing social class-consciousness. Three families from different levels of society become intertwined: the rich capitalists, the intellectual bourgeoisie and the struggling poor. Forster does not suggest that relationships between the classes are easy, but he does think them vitally important. The social philosophy inherent in the novel is significant and beautifully written. .Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

I didn't get that at all, nor did the lame plot or any of the monotonous characters offer anything except a lot of skippable pages. ( )
