About this listen

 In E.M. Forsters timeless narrative, the Schlegel sisters frequently cross paths with the wealthy Wilcox family. Helen, the youngest, faces heartbreak when she is spurned by Paul Wilcox, the younger son. Meanwhile, Margaret, the eldest, forges a bond with Ruth Wilcox, the family matriarch who treasures her ancestral home, Howards End. As Ruth nears the end of her life, she desires to leave the house to Margaret, believing it will be cherished in her hands, unlike her own familys indifference. A handwritten note bequeathing the property to Margaret creates turmoil when Ruths husband, Henry, and his children choose to ignore her wishes by destroying the note. In an unexpected twist of fate, Margaret eventually marries Henry, striving to connect with him while navigating the resistance from his son Charles and daughter-in-law, who are determined to prevent her from claiming her inheritance. This rich tale weaves themes of class, inheritance, and the struggle for personal connection amidst societal expectations.Copyright Romance Stories Art Entertainment & Performing Arts Social Sciences
