Fleur, the daughter of Soames Forsyte, having been disappointed in love and then married to Michael Mont, toys with the affections of her husband and his best friend, Wilfred Desert. The two men are left in a position of uncertainty to compete for a love that is not guaranteed to either. In this classic, in the end, as it must, love wins out.

Born on 14 August 1867, John Galsworthy was educated at Harrow and Oxford, before being called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1890. His first work, entitled From the Four Winds, a collection of stories, was published in 1897 under the pseudonym John Sinjohn and he continued to use this name when publishing his early novels, including Jocelyn (1898) and The Island Pharisees (1904). However, his first major success came in 1906, when his first play, The Silver Box, was put on at the Court Theatre. It was also in this year that Galsworthy wrote the first of what was to become known as The Forsyte Saga, The Man of Property, which was to be followed by The Indian Summer of a Forsyte (1918), In Chancery (1920), Awakening (1920) and To Let (1921). Galsworthy was a prolific writer and was awarded Les Palmes d'Or by Belgium in 1919, numerous honorary doctorates and, most notably, in 1932, the Nobel Prize for Literature. He turned down a knighthood in 1918. He died on 31 January 1933.
''[The Forsyte Chronicles are] a social satire of epic proportions and one that does not suffer by comparison with Thackeray's Vanity Fair ...the whole comedy of manners, convincing both in its fidelity to life and as a work of art.'' --New York Times
