Jag köpte av misstag en svensk översättning av Howards End. Den kommer att gå på en resa.

Tack så mycket!!

This book arrived safely yesterday. I din't want to peak, but noticed a book inside the envelope, so... to be able to update my wishlist I did open it, despite the HGG sign.

You wrote I probably know Howards End. Well, I don't. Now I don't know whetherto be ashamed of myself or not, but it's just like that. A new book, a book in Swedish, A good challenge for the new year.

Thank you so much, for all you sent. Your thoughfullness is very much appreciated!! (Other gifts are listed in the HGG thank you thread).

"Romanen Howards End kretsar kring förhållandet mellan två familjer som sinsemellan är väldigt olika. Å ena sidan systrarna Margaret och Helen Schlegel, som uppskattar litteratur, musik och intellektuella samtal, å andra sidan änklingen Henry Wilcox och hans vuxna barn, som ser praktiskt och affärsmässigt på tillvaron. Till allas förvåning gifter sig Margaret med Henry Wilcox.
Genom hela berättelsen spelar Howards End, Wilcox´ gård utanför London, en nästan spöklik roll. Det är Howards End som till slut får de själviska och självsvåldiga huvudpersonerna, både wilcoxar och schleglar att inse sina begränsningar."

My Swedish is not nearly good enough to read all the books that AylaMey sent to me. It goes too slowly and at this moment I don’t have the concentration and time to sit and read with a dictionary or figure out what the meaning of a word is by guessing from the context.

Too bad, but now the books will travel to an area where people might enjoy them :-)

I will get my hands on a Dutch or English copy one day and will read this book.

This book is travelling to Norway, to travelina, with many other companions.
For travelina to read (if she's interested and has the time), otherwise to be released at the convention in Oslo, where it hopefully will find a new reader.

Thank you so much for sending the books, Boekentrol!
