After I saw the 1985 Merchant Ivory film, I was curious about the book. Its not often that the film is as good as the book, but in this it was, so faithfully adapted. When I got the book after seeing the film, I felt I was seeing the film again while reading, the film was sooo faithful to all the ...

Amazing book when you can read it...

+ BETTER THAN THE GREAT MOVIE
+ Sensual...interesting...

Because of my notion of what the book was about, I had a hard time starting it. As soon as I picked it up, I was hooked. This is about a mentally disturbed man and how his mind works. And Nabokov's writing is amazing. I couldn't believe English is his third language. He is a master. The ...

In Ruth Wilcox's world, Howards End is that place; the countryside house where she was born, where her family often ...

Get the book and many of the side stories that were only touched on in the film will suddenly spread out before you ...
