I first read this in 2018 and liked it ok. Read it again in 2024 and thoroughly enjoyed it!! One of those times I see how I’ve grown as a reader.

There’s a lot going on in Howards End. It’s got class, gender, power and money. Not to mention “telegrams and anger”, lost umbrellas and Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony forming a backdrop to the drama of it all. Forster’s book centres on what happens when relationships grow between people who have very different attitudes and values. Their attractions to each other may struggle to endure the gaping differences between their opinions and ways of living.
