Publisher Description

Jon and his mother go to Spain. The son manages to curtail the visit after six weeks.

Meanwhile, Jolyon strengthens his relationship with his eldest daughter, June, who reveals that she sympathises with the young lovers. It is June who helps Fleur in her search for the history of the feud within the family. Prosper Profond, who continues to ingratiate himself with the Forsyte clan, inadvertently discloses the truth.

Soames, while dealing with the problems in his second marriage, must now enlighten his daughter about the problems in his first.

Although in a state of shock herself, Fleur realises that Jon may not know the whole truth and there could still be a chance to get what she wants. Ignoring the lovesick appeals of a besotted Michael Mont she resolves to marry Jon, with or without the approval of their parents.

"The Forsyte Saga is a rich trilogy of novels about a wealthy, upper middle class London family and how their shared family peccadilloes bemire them in the same predicaments generation after generation. Thoughtful, incredibly well-detailed, with some lovely quiet moments. (ie: Indian Summer) Dry, ironic wit is interspersed here and there to make an altogether satisfying, if long, read."

— Rowena (4 out of 5 stars)

    " Loved this book because it explained my history, and thus explained myself to some degree, but mainly I liked the way it progressed through time from youth to old age, a journey that we all take if we are lucky enough. Also wonderful narrative style. "

    " 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...) "

    " I tried. I really tried. But in the end I couldn't handle the combination of Victorian pathos and the smug, self-assured judgment of Jazz Age commentary on that pathos. For my money, Edith Wharton's "The Age of Innocence" explores the same questions, but much more compactly. "
