“The Forsyte Saga” is a sweeping chronicle of an upper-middle-class English family spanning three generations. Galsworthy’s masterful prose brings to life the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with all their social conventions and changing mores. Through the eyes of the Forsyte clan, we witness love, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of property. It’s a tale that resonated deeply with me, exploring timeless themes of family, wealth, and the human heart. Galsworthy’s keen observations and subtle wit make this saga a true literary gem.
Love has no age, no limit; and no death.
