Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Forsyte Saga, Volume III" by John Galsworthy is a series of three novels and two interludes published between 1906 and 1921. It chronicles an upper-middle-class English family keenly aware of their "new money" status. The central figure, solicitor Soames Forsyte, sees himself as a "man of property" through material accumulation, yet finds no happiness. The saga explores marriage, divorce, obsession, and forbidden love across generations, culminating when second cousins Fleur and Jon fall in love, unaware of their parents' troubled past that threatens to keep them apart forever.
