Howards End

Author: E.M. Forster

The idealistic Schlegel sisters, the pragmatic Wilcoxes, and the working-class Basts become entangled in a web of love, class, and property. At the heart lies Howards End, a country house that embodies the soul of England. With wit and compassion, Forster explores the tensions between tradition and progress, intellect and passion, as his characters grapple with their place in a rapidly changing world.

Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height.
