About the Book
A celebrated work under the collective title of “The Forsyte Saga”. It is a series of 3 novels and 2 interludes: “The Man of Property”, “Indian Summer of a Forsyte”, “In Chancery”, “Awakening” and “To Let”. With a subtle blend of humour and agony, Galsworthy deals with the lives of upper middle class people and highlights their narrow-minded, snobbish and disgusting moral codes. Remarkable!
