Una comedia moderna

Fleur, Soames Forsyte's daughter, marries the aristocrat Michael Mont, a veteran of World War I. Deeply in love with his wife, Michael tries to bring order to a world rife with social injustices and inexorably heading toward another war. Meanwhile, Soames, the family patriarch, still cannot forget Irene, his ex-wife, who harbors a deep resentment toward him. The second trilogy of The Forsyte Chronicles coincides with the literary maturity of Nobel laureate John Galsworthy, allowing him to create a masterpiece set in interwar Europe. Through the members of this saga, English society after the death of Queen Victoria is reflected, and a web of relationships dominated by passion, hatred, and revenge is woven.
