Summary: It is late in the Victorian era, and two branches of an upper-crust family–the “good” Forsytes, headed by well-meaning Old Jolyon, and the “bad” Forsytes, headed by crusty barrister James–are at odds, eternally squabbling. The ‘saga’ focuses on the younger generations – Young Jolyon, Soames, Winifred, June – and their struggles with emotional repression, the rejection of Victorian mores, and the sea changes taking place as a less repressive society emerged. Every family may indeed have its vicissitudes, but few have as many as John Galsworthy’s Forsytes.
