Product Description

Product Description

To Let, the final volume of the Forsyte trilogy, chronicles the continuing feuds of the two factions within the troubled Forsyte family. The shadow of the past returns to haunt the lives of a new generation, as Irene's son Jon falls in love with Soames's daughter Fleur with tragic consequences.


About the Author

John Galsworthy was born in 1867 and educated at Harrow and New College, Oxford. He was called to the bar but a chance meeting with Joseph Conrad, and the strong influence of his future wife, turned him to writing. The first volume of The Forsyte Saga was published in 1922. The second volume was published in 1929, and the final volume was published posthumously in 1934.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conclusion of the first trilogy of the Forsyte Saga., April 30 2004
By C. Gilbert "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
"He might wish and wish and never get it-- the beauty and the loving in the world."

The entire Forsyte Saga does a wonderful job in describing the passing of an age. On the one hand, ít's very clearly about why the age must pass but on the other it is kind to those who mourn the going. Even the Man of Property himself is sympathetic at the last. Time judges people like him harshly enough, Galsworthy seems to say.

Irene has been the animating spirit of these books-- an agent of change to the Forsytes in a way that one of their own (June) can never be. When she at last raises her hand in forgiveness to Soames before her final departure, it's a kind of triumphant benediction-- a kindness come too late. The Forsytes are all but dead and she's departing with her own to a new land.

I suppose that the next generation of Forsyte books will be aobut people with the will and temperment of the family, but without the supporting time. I wonder if it will follow Fleur or Jon, Imogene or Val.

Galworthy does a superb job of capturing the restlessness of love-- the smell of warm grass that you look for-- as though the harmony of the weather is proof of love's constancy. And that wonderful moment in _To Let_ when Fleur puts her face out the window into the night and smells only petrol. A real moment.

Under-rated beautiful books, these.
