Description

"The Forsyte Saga, Volume II" by John Galsworthy is a series of novels and interludes published between 1906 and 1922. The saga chronicles an upper-middle-class English family acutely conscious of their "new money" status. At its center is Soames Forsyte, a solicitor whose obsession with property and possession fails to bring him happiness. Through marriages, divorces, and forbidden loves spanning generations, the Forsytes navigate desire, betrayal, and social ambition. When the next generation falls in love, old wounds resurface, threatening to repeat the past's tragic patterns. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
