Status Updates From Howards End

i thought to myself how 1910 is such an interesting time for a book to be written, and then a racist doll was mentioned. it’s funny how ideas can transcend time (margaret’s view on christmas, ideas about gender/women), but certain details age poorly! the wilcox’s seem insufferable aside from ruth, who seems passive and highly emotional, screw her husband for not getting her love for her home!

again, i’m liking how the families are intertwining, but the basts still seem pretty distant, but i suppose i only read two chapters! really liking how margaret and mrs. wilcox seem to be becoming friends, and i like reading about mrs. wilcox’s connection to the house!
