Howard's End
Penguin Main Series 311. Reprinted, January 1946.
'Only connect.' is the idea at the heart of this book, a heartbreaking and provocative tale of three families at the beginning of the twentieth century: the rich Wilcoxes, the gentle, idealistic Schlegels and the lower-middle class Basts. As the Schlegel sisters try desperately to help the Basts and educate the close-minded Wilcoxes, the families are drawn together in love, lies and death.Frequently cited as E. M. Forster's finest work, Howards End brilliantly explores class warfare, conflict and the English character.
Condition grading: Good. Minor wear and crease to slightly grubby spine. Part of ring mark to front cover. Damage to both ends of grubby and worn spine. Some creases to both corners of front cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
