Howards End is a novel by E. M. Forster about social conventions, codes of conduct and relationships in turn-of-the-century England. A strong-willed and intelligent woman refuses to allow the pretensions of her husband's smug English family to ruin her life. Howards End is considered by some to be Forster's masterpiece

I enjoyed this quite a bit. I think I prefer Forster's A Room With a View overall, but the Schlegels and Wilcoxs are interesting characters. Forster certainly writes well and you get a real sense of the place.
I adore A Room With a View, but somehow this didn't hit the same place for me. Not sure why.
I thought of it as a better-written English Great Gatsby, with actual characters instead of crude archetypes.
