Summary:	Margaret and Helen Schlegel are sisters from a well-educated European family. A series of events brings them into a relationship with the very English Wilcox family. Both families also come into contact with Leonard Bast and his wife, a couple near the lowest tier of the rigid class system. Leonard's desire for cultural and intellectual status attracts the attention of Helen. Margaret must reconcile her independent spirit with her desire for companionship and a comfortable place in Edwardian society. Her moral strength is eventually able to resolve the tangle of opposites.

Review by Library Journal Review

The third E.M. Forster adaptation by Ismail Merchant and James Ivory (Room with a View, Maurice) represents the apex of their 30-year partnership. An impeccable Edwardian-era drama about the strained relationship between two dissimilar British families-one middle-class, cultured, and philanthropic; the other rich, conservative, and self-centered-Howards End gets the royal treatment with a superb transfer and several behind-the-scenes extras in this two-disc set. For all collections. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
