To Let

The Forsyte Saga is the most enduring masterwork by British writer and Nobel laureate John Galsworthy. Comprised of three novels separated by two brief interludes, the Forsyte Saga chronicles three generations within an upper-middle-class English family, punctuated by incestuous backbiting, infidelities, and acts of outlandish cruelty. Bound by the thread of Soames Forsyte and his possessive hold over his first wife, Irene, the Forsyte Saga creates ripples and resonances between objects and power dynamics that few would consider or expect, shining an early light on issues such as gender inequality and social class. Rendered in stunning, honest prose by one of a prolific master of English literature, the Forsyte Saga stands as one of the most page-turning series to find a respectable place within the Western canon, and readers will find its message and approach as refreshingly startling today as during that unique era that bridged Victorian and Edwardian ideals.
