Book 630: The Forsyte Saga

The Forsyte Saga, by John Galsworthy, original publication 1920, this edition Scribner's 2002.

This story collection includes the Forsyte trilogy, plus the two intermission short stories.  The short stories should not be overlooked, especially the first one.

I remember reading this book about ten years ago and feeling almost sympathetic for Soames by the conclusion.  That still happened when I read it again this month.  Fleur, however, seems far more tragic at the conclusion of the book this time.  Either I'm turning romantic, or I can see how Fleur's marriage will end up.  It's probably the latter.
