Publisher Description

This volume details the struggle between Soames and his beautiful wife, Irene, who leaves him but cannot persuade him to grant a divorce. While Soames cannot accept Irene's dissent, he insists his sister deal as she must with her own failed marriage. Irene gains independence through her friendship with Soames' Uncle, Old Jolyon, who leaves her a fortune in his will, and she flees the country, but Soames follows her.

"Very serious book, filled with life and poetry at the same time. Life as it is, life as it can be and all aspects of it. And of course beautiful language. Those who were caught up in the destiny of a "tribe" should definitely check out six more books...) "

    " A look at an upper middle class English family over three generations in the early 1900's. Enjoyable. "

    " Covers several generations and does not rush through it--but if the manner and the prams and the morning-gloves don't bother you, your patience will be rewarded. Oh, and apparently this guy pioneered something about The Novel? "

    " I absolutely loved this book. Soames Forsyte is such a tragic character. Does he ever realize why Irene can't love him? "
