A Classy End

If the main female characters, Margaret and Helen, could see the world today I think they would want to be a part of it. The male lead, Mr. Wilcox...not so much. Sisters Margaret and Helen were rich, yes, but also lived in a time when women were just beginning to voice their educated opinions about culture, society, poetry and their place in the bustling city of London. The story was gentle look into appreciating nature, the value of a loved home and the quality of one’s character and morals. Woven in between those lines was the story of two women finding their place in a “man’s world” and being respected there.

Howard’s End was not a page turning thriller, but it was a refreshing breath of classic language. I found myself getting lost in its simple words, basic moral reasoning and overwhelming gratitude for land, life and enriching adventures.
