About the book

At its core, Howard's End tells a bittersweet story of a clash between classes and cultures, focusing on the relationships that are built after a fortuitous encounter between two starkly different families: the wealthy, pragmatic Wilcoxes and the artistic, rather idealistic Schlegel siblings. When the lovely Helen Schlegel visits the Wilcoxes at their estate and is enamored by their son Paul, they become engaged but soon after, they break it off. Their failed engagement becomes a catalyst, setting in motion a chain of events that nobody could have predicted.
