The Forsyte Saga

The Man of Property

The three novels that make up this trilogy have long been recognized as masterpieces of 20th-century literature, and Galsworthy as one of its leading exponents. But don’t let that be the reason you put off listening to this wonderful work. There are passion and lust in these pages, high art and low comedy, and unthinking violence that ride alongside ever-correct manners. Scandal, tragedy, despair, rape, accidental death, marriage, remarriage and a healthy leavening of births all unfold against a rolling backdrop of a world war.

A rediscovered classic, chock full novel

Even after recently viewing the 2002 BBC production I found this book entrancing, full of wit, rock solid characters, and concrete wisdom. I finished the whole thing in two days.

excellent story, wonderfully narrated.

do not hesitate to choose this version, as Neil Hunt was perfect. gave the various characters distinct voices and conveyed just the right sentiment and emotion. highly recommend.
