Sinopse

Depression Era London and Sydney come to life in this historical novel as young women traveling the world confront secrets that could unravel their lives.   London, 1933. Having just graduated from nursing school, Esmé Carr and her best friend Minnie are hungry for adventure. They take a cruise to Australia, providing onboard medical assistance in exchange for their passage. Left behind is Esmé’s adolescent niece, Meggie, who is every bit as independent and full of life as Esmé. But there is mystery surrounding Meggie’s birth—one she intends to unravel, despite her mother’s warnings to leave the past alone.   When the truth finally comes out, it upends Meggie’s life in ways she never could have expected. And while Minnie needs Esmé more than ever, Esmé finds herself traversing a rift between mother and daughter even more challenging than the journey between London and Sydney.   “A terrific novel.” —Historical Novel Society

    "Howards End" is one of E.M. Forster's most celebrated novels, first published in 1910. At the heart of the story is the country house, Howards End, which becomes a symbol for the narrative's exploration of the social, economic, and class divisions in early 20th-century England. The novel intertwines the lives of three families: the idealistic, intellectual Schlegel sisters, the wealthy, pragmatic Wilcoxes, and the working-class Basts. Through their interconnected relationships, Forster scrutinizes the changing societal landscape, especially the diminishing values of the Edwardian era and the rise of modernity. Themes of inheritance, belonging, love, and betrayal are delicately interwoven, showcasing Forster's profound understanding of human nature and societal constraints.
