Query: More Difficult to Follow and Less Satisfying

I greatly enjoyed A Passage to India and A Room With a View. Howard's End shares many of their assets - character development, period description, adventure, surprises, cultural and political awareness. However, many of the events seemed disconnected or irrelevant. None of the characters were especially lovable or heroic. The author highlights the difficulties of finding meaning (or a place) in life for a wide variety of individuals. Perhaps the disruption of the historical comforts of a settled social structure is the main message of this 1910 work. Like the other two novels, this work focuses on the frustrations of making meaningful connections with others during a time of change.
