The Man of Property - Softcover

John Galsworthy's first entry into The Forsyte Saga begins the story of the wealthy and divided Forsyte family, on one end focusing upon the catastrophic marriage of the wealthy Soames Forsyte to Irene Heron as well as his cousin Jolyon's life far from the comfort of the family that's disowned him and the grown-up daughter he's left behind. In what began Galsworthy's greatest streak of creative genius, late 19th century Britain is both critiqued and celebrated in real time. The Man of Property is simultaneously comedic and highly dramatic, a story of family, of greed and of following ones heart.
