The fabled Forsyte family saga continues. Fleur, the daughter of Soames and Annette, and Jon, the son of Irene and Jolyon, meet by chance as youngsters. A decade later, they meet again and fall instantly--and disasterously--in love. This era in the saga of the privileged Forsytes unfolds amid the gaiety and social upheaval of the 1920's, the dawn of the modern age.

The story of Soames Forsyte, a solicitor and the wealthy head of a middle-class family in London during the nineteenth century.
