Ended it for me

Reviewed in Australia on 5 June 2018

Verified Purchase

I try to improve my mind but reading classics but I find the prose too prosey for my taste. I got about 15% in before I backed out of the families and left them to their devices and miseries. I'll never make an English Classics scholar, that's for sure. It is well written but simply not a style I am comfortable with.

Perfection

I enjoyed this book immensely. Such prose and poetry. It explores the differences not only between class and gender but also between different types of people; the cultural and spiritual opposed to the pragmatic and business-like and how their lives and beliefs intersect.

Nothing to dislike here. A great portrait of life in another more peaceful era. Had also read it before but wanted a Kindle version to keep. Very human and stirring. Also very thoughtful.

Reading versus watching this novel.

Reviewed in Australia on 5 November 2014

Enjoyed the movie but there is much more going on in the reading than it is possible to take in when watching. So Well worth the purchase.( pity my Kindle Reader has just packed up after only three years of use,)

A metaphor for the value of understated continuity?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2017

Verified Purchase

It was written a while back but features disputes that continue in different forms today: business/markets Vs ethical being, authenticity Vs lack of self awareness, male presumption and failing Vs female emancipation and equality .. The hand of fate unites one character with the apparent whim of another. Both are women though of different generations and the whim is the gift of property but a property that reflects a continuity of intention and purpose. The narrative requires acceptance of somewhat implausible coincidences, but Forster's prose and the pantheon of his characters entertain and enliven. Someone made a film based on the book, and the BBC recently offered a TV adaptation, but if you have time, try the original.

A lovely tale with a strong female presence

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2019

Verified Purchase

“Howards End” tells of the intertwining lives of three families, the Schlegels, the Wilcoxes and the Basts at the beginning of the twentieth century.

I read this after having watched the TV adaptation with Hayley Atwell last year. I enjoyed the TV version and was keen to read the book too.

I liked Forster’s writing style. The book isn’t particularly long but covers a lot of ground with some time jumps at parts. It was easy to follow and the writing kept me constantly hooked in and wanting more.

I love Margaret Schlegel. She’s a very modern woman, considering when the book was set, and is such an independent character. Helen was a bit flighty for my liking and needed to think things through a bit more but this obviously worked for the storyline. Their brother, Tibby, felt a bit pointless, he didn’t really seem to serve much purpose in the story and wasn’t very well fleshed out.

It’s easy to see the hypocrisy in the different reactions to Henry Wilcox’s behaviour and Helen’s. Even when Margaret pointed out to Henry the similarities between Helen’s situation and his past behaviour he couldn’t see it. Women were very much treated as being beneath men and Margaret was scorned for her independence and some of her interests.

Charles Wilcox is very typical of wealthy young men in England at that time. Desperate to protect what he sees as “his” though he has little more claim on it than anyone else and treats his wife like a simpleton; just there to look nice and raise the children. I really wanted Dolly to grow a pair and shout at him!

I would have liked to know more about the Basts. I felt that their story was the weaker of the three and they mainly existed as plot points.

I’d definitely read this again and would recommend it to anyone with an interest in period tales with a strong female character.

Bitting satire (spoilers)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2018

Verified Purchase

For a title called Howard's End it surprising how little of the story actually takes place there, much of the first part taking place in London. Howard's end is portrayed as a charming house with beautiful grounds, home of the Willcoxes, a wealthy family, featuring two parents and their three rather spoilt children one of whom is recently married. The family comes into contact with the Schlegels, a well to do family made up of two sisters and a brother. In contrast the Schlegels are more liberal minded and take a real interest in art, music and more radical kinds of politics. At it's heart the film can been seen as a satire on Edwardian society with it's double standards as well as a comedy with tragic elements also woven in. Many of the issues feel very contemporary, the clash often occurring when two different families are brought together by marriage, the place of women in society and also issues surrounding houses and home. The Schlegels are to loose their home as the lease expires on it and developers want to knock it down and build new flats instead. Lack of housing security is an all too modern problem for many people living in London. The real tragedy of the story though is focused on the hapless Leonard Bast, a poor clerk with an interest in culture, especially the arts and sciences. An accidental encounter leading to a friendship with the Schlegels ought to be the beginning of his ascent to greater things. Tragically though the contact with the sisters who want to help him leads to utter disaster for Leonard.

Glimpses of Britain before the world wars - many of which are valid still

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2018

Verified Purchase

I first read Howards End more than 20 years ago, when the film came out. Having now watched the new mini series, I wanted to re-read it, for the same reason as then: to see what was left out and find out if that was important.

Of course there are details that are not there, but nothing essential I don’t think. I find that the mini series - as did the film - gets all the main points of the book across very well.

The book includes more of the fine points of class distinction and the deeper life of the characters than the films, of course, and it has been worth re-reading it just for those details. Many of which are, of course, a little baffling to a modern reader, but still give worthwhile glimpses into Britain before the world wars.
