5.0 out of 5 stars My first Forsyte Book., Feb 27 2004
By C. Gilbert "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Man of Property: The Forsyte Saga (Paperback)
This book is bound to appeal to readers like myself who are interested in novels of manners, but should also be an interesting read for those who aren't. The Forsyte clan will be recognizable to virtually everybody as members of the splendid and self-satisfied middle class and in a sense the story is about what happens when other people notable for something besides their position (beauty or talent) come into contact with them.

One of the things that I like about Galsworthy is that while he isn't sparing in his treatment of the Forsytes, he also isn't unfair or unkind. The good aspects of the Forsytes (June and Jolyon) are treated as well as the bad and in the end I even sorrowed for Soames (almost) as much as I did for Irene or Bosinney.

The Man of Property is bound together with a short interlude called "Indian Summer of a Forsyte" which takes you through generational change and into (presumably) the next novel.

I'm looking forward to reading the entire saga.
