Howards End

"Howards End" by E. M. Forster is a book that shows English society changing in the early 1900s. It's mainly about social class, how people connect, and how England was changing. The main people are the Schlegel sisters, Margaret and Helen, who are smart and want change, and the wealthy Wilcox family, who are more old-fashioned. The story starts with Helen writing to Margaret about her time at Howards End. Helen loves the house and the area around it, and she talks about the Wilcox family, especially Mrs. Wilcox, who seems very caring and connected to the land. Helen's letters mix fun observations about the family with bigger ideas about social issues, classes, and what it means to be a woman, and her growing interest in the Wilcox family begins a story focused on love, class differences, and finding connections in a changing world.
