The second book, In Chancery, recounts the Forsytes' stormy marriage, séparation, and eventual divorce; To Let, the last of the trilogy, focus-es on the children of the estranged couple. In addition to the three original novels, this édition also contains the connecting interludes, Indian Summer of a Forsyte and Awakening.

In addition to the three original novels, this édition also contains the connecting interludes, Indian Summer of a Forsyte and Awakening.
For years, The Forsyte Saga had an enormous impact on American and European conceptions of Victorian and Edwardian life. Among the most populär literary classics of the twentieth Century, this beautifully written book, with its heartbreaking character studies, remains an impressive contribution to social history and literary art.
