nanuska_153 's review for:

Howards End by E.M. Forster
4.0
reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The lifes of the Wilcoxs,a conservative very paternalistic family,and the Schlegels,a family with two independent sisters,socialist and immersed in the intellectual world,are intertwined.Very little and a lot happens all at the same time.Sometimes it can be quite dense to follow the thoughts of the different characters,but they are well drawn and like all Forster's the ideas are interesting,surprisingly advanced,and the setting is beautiful.
