Howards End

Meer over het boek

Set in early 20th century England, the narrative intertwines the lives of three distinct families: the wealthy Wilcoxes, the cultured Schlegels, and the impoverished Basts. The Schlegel sisters, driven by idealism and intellect, aim to uplift the struggling Basts while challenging the Wilcoxes' entrenched social prejudices. The novel explores themes of class disparity, cultural aspirations, and the complexities of human relationships against a backdrop of societal change.
