About the book

John Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga chronicles the fortunes of an upper-middle-class English family across several generations, beginning in the prosperous world of late Victorian Britain. At its centre is Soames Forsyte, a successful solicitor whose possessive attitude toward his wife Irene becomes one of the defining conflicts of the series. Through marriages, property disputes, family rivalries and changing social values, Galsworthy traces the gradual transformation of British society from Victorian certainty toward the uncertainties of the twentieth century. The saga is both an intimate family drama and a broad exploration of wealth, class, ownership, love and social change.
