This is my first time reading this British classic, and I have to say I liked it a fair bit better than A Room with a View. The idealistic, half German, socialist sisters, Margaret and Helen Schlegel mix with the wealthy,business-minded Wilcoxes, and therein lies most of the tension of the book. Embedded with humour, this is also a serious look into British mores and society in the early part of the twentieth century. There is love, disappointment, cultural clashings, idealistic conversations and some hidden meaning behind Howards End that ideally the reader will sort out by reading and not by reading essays or literary critiques (more fun that way, and really, if you miss it there is still a story here worth reading.)
