Resumen del Editor

Jessica Raine stars in all four BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisations of John Galsworthy's Forsyte novels.

An irresistible family saga of love, money and betrayal, The Forsytes: The Complete Series encompasses four acclaimed BBC Radio 4 productions of Galsworthy's perennially popular epic, spanning 50 years from 1886 to 1936.

The Forsytes sees wealthy Soames Forsyte questioning his relationship with his beautiful wife, Irene. As evidence of her betrayal emerges, the family is torn apart and scandal unleashed. In The Forsytes Continues, it is 1920 and Soames would do anything for his sparkling daughter, Fleur. But when she falls in love with the wrong man, how can he stop history repeating itself? The Forsytes Returns picks up Fleur's story four years later, as she vows to put her past behind her and settle down. But those around her are intent on stirring up trouble. The Forsytes Concludes introduces young Dinny Cherrell, Fleur's cousin. Unbeknown to both, their lives will be paralleled in ways neither could have predicted....

Starring Jessica Raine, with a cast including Joseph Millson, Juliet Aubrey, Jonathan Bailey, Ben Lambert and Sarah Ridgeway, this compelling drama delves behind the Edwardian façade to reveal Galsworthy's wonderful wit, observation and insight into human nature.

Excellent

As I was listening I could see the scenes so vividly, a couple of times I turned toward the television to watch.
I wish all audio books were this well performed.

Very enjoyable

Good old fashioned family saga. Loved it spanned several generations. Interesting how history repeated itself, no matter how the older generation tried to steer it differently. Highly recommend.

Loved it!

I loved this! it was like listening to a movie. The voices were on point.

Exceptional

Actors brought the characters to life. Listening brought a play in my mind. I was able to imagine the scene as tho I was in the room experiencing every moment. Wish all books were dramatized this way.

Excellent dramatization!

Very enjoyable listening and wonderful actor-narrators, really made the multigenerational saga come to life. Highly recommend! Have not read the original books so don’t know how they compare but the story of the Forsytes as told in this audible presentation was interesting and very entertaining.

Couldn’t stop listening!

This would be worth 3 credits it’s so good!!! I just finished listening and I’m already wanting to listen to it again.

Tears 😭 are involved...

Engrossing listen. Well done. My only complaint is that I didn’t really know in the last chapters the relationship between the many characters and that it had fast forwarded in time. I may have missed some dialogue being distracted though. IMO if you really love someone you would not cause them trouble or plan to show up wherever they could be sure to “accidentally” meet them especially when the person adamantly says no but is manipulated to say yes. I was frustrated with the lead female narrating her story. The performances were perfect. I enjoyed this series very much.

Wonderful Audiobook

I must say that for all the enjoyment that Audible brings into my life, this ranks at the top of my list! Superb entertainment! I just loved it...The story, the performances...well, I could go on and on. Treat yourself!

magnificent

excellent performance. Enjoyed every minute. No wonder it was so acclaimed.Ready for more Galsworthy.A delight.

Best BBC drama I’ve listened to

Over the years I’ve listened to many dramatized books, bone by the BBC and other companies; this one is by far the best. The story and preference is better than most..
