About this title

Review:

Praise for THE FORSYTE SAGA: 'An immortal achievement...it is, at all levels, readability itself (Financial Times)

Just because they were set in a world of frock-coats and ornate drawing rooms, we should not be blind to their modern dilemmas... the satire is sharp, the dialogue, elegant and witty, and the characterisation - dazzling (Scotsman)

THE FORSYTE SAGA was such a cracking good story...compulsive, as well as very modern and outrageous (Sunday Times)

Still a terrific read, a satisfying, long, absorbing family story...which knocks spots off its pale imitators (Susan Hill)

The books I most wish I'd written (Penny Vincenzi)

Synopsis:

Passion, scandal and tragedy - one of the most absorbing family dramas ever written.Dinny Cherrell has been proposed to numerous times. But no one has ever come close to touching her independent spirit. That is, until she encounters Wilfred Desert. They had first met at Fleur and Michael Mont's wedding and the spark of attraction felt all those years before develops into a deep, all-consuming love. But Wilfred, made cynical by the war and a wanderer, is a complicated and tortured soul. When his past actions come back to haunt him, and the disapproval of Dinny's family work against them, their love is tested to the very limit...
