Publisher's summary

The house at Richmond is finished at last, but Soames takes Bosinney to court for exceeding the budget. The final judgment of their case turns on ‘a very fine point’ in their correspondence.

The architect does not heed Young Jolyon’s warning and continues to pursue Irene - with fatal consequences.

Old Jolyon effects a complete reconciliation with his son and changes his will as a result, further distancing himself from his brother James in the process. The rift will continue through into the next generation.

The old man purchases Robin Hill and spends the remaining days of his life in the company of Irene, now teaching music and ‘assisting the Magdelenes of London’. This charming interlude brings Galsworthy’s Book 1 of the Saga to a close.

Critic reviews

‘Peter Joyce is the most remarkable one-man band in audiobook publishing. Joyce, an experienced actor, reads them all himself.’ ( The Independent)
‘Family sagas, from Icelandic to Aga, have diverted readers for centuries, but the Forsytes remain the brand leaders. The clever thing about this edition is that it comes in small, easily digestible portions. Peter Joyce, whose rhetorical resonance is perfect for his subject, has divided the saga into nine volumes, each lasting around five hours. Listen for yourselves. It was the dialogue that had me constantly rewinding…. their lives are eminently and endlessly fascinating.’ (Sue Arnold, The Guardian)

Again. the BEST!

Can't and doesn't get better than this, as the story really develops! The books are so well-written and the narration is superb. Really a treat!
