About this listen

John Galsworthy's magnificent trilogy of power and passion chronicles the wealthy Forsyte family. As the disintegrating values of the Victorian era progress to World War I and the political uncertainty of the 1930s, the family's material and emotional struggles are set within the dwindling status of the affluent middle-classes.

Infused with warmth, compassion and engaging characters, the complete chronicles are divided into three volumes, containing nine books and four interludes in total. In Volume One, The Forsyte Saga, Soames Forsyte - the "man of property" - is desperate to uphold values and conventions that are becoming out of step with the time. His most prized possession is his strikingly beautiful wife, Irene, but she is profoundly unhappy; the bitterness only builds, and the events that follow are set to ripple through the next generation of Forsytes.

This Forsyte trilogy contains book one: The Man of Property, Interlude: Indian Summer of a Forsyte; book two: In Chancery, Interlude: Awakening; and book three: To Let.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I thoroughly enjoyed this journey through time with the members of the Forsyte family.Strangely, despite previously disliking Soames, I began to see him as a complex character, his love of art and beauty at odds with his middle class values.There are beautiful descriptions of nature and the seasons, which resonate with today’s concern with the natural world. The narrator David Timson really made the stories come alive,such a wonderful voice to listen to.
