The Forsyte Saga, Volume 2

The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy follows the fortunes of the wealthy Forsyte family across generations in late Victorian and Edwardian England. It explores their fixation on property, status, and control, centering on Soames Forsyte and others whose private desires clash with duty and social expectation. As relationships fracture and society evolves, the saga reveals the decline of rigid class values and the emotional cost of possession and pride.
