I'm very happily going through an E M Forster phase. Who can I read of a similar ilk when I (sob) finish the last one?

Evelyn Waugh
Elizabeth Howard
Anthony Powell
What is it about him you want to hold onto? Style, milieu?

Thank you. I'll look them up.
It's his style- the way he deals with such dramatic events so gently.

DH suggests Jane Austen- different time but I know what he means. Graham Greene?
Barbara Trapido is a modernish equivalent.

Zadie Smith's "On Beauty" is a modern day reworking of Howard's End... also beautiful writing.

Graham Greene is a good one. I enjoyed Our Man in Havana.
