029 - Pt III Ch V The Trial

Dive into The Forsyte Saga, an enthralling tale of a prosperous London family spanning from the 1880s to the 1920s. In The Man of Property, we meet Soames Forsyte, a partner in the familys law firm, whose troubled marriage to Irene sets the stage for a dramatic exploration of love and loyalty. As Irene falls for another man, we also witness the complexities within the Forsyte clan, including the estrangement between Old Jolyon and his artistic son Young Jolyon, alongside the budding romance of Young Jolyons daughter, June, and architect Philip Bosinney. This compelling narrative leads us to a pivotal night when Soames asserts his rights and the tragic fate that awaits Bosinney. (Summary by Andy Minter)
