Synopsis

Galsworthy's trilogy The Forsyte Saga broke ground twice: first as a stunning portrait of a bourgeois British family circa 1906-1921, and again as the seminal mini-series of the 1960s. Readers and viewers were equally captivated by the first novel, which introduced the elder Forsytes, including the formidable Aunt Ann Forsyte; jealous Soames and his oppressed wife Irene; cousin Jolyon and young June. In this audio version, Martin Jarvis, who played Jolyon on the BBC series, expertly evokes the dramatic power in this story of a grasping 'man of property' and those who love and hate him.
