Description
John Galsworthy continued his Forsyte family saga with In Chancery, published in 1920. The novel follows The Man of Property and the short piece Indian Summer of a Forsyte. Galsworthy tracked the rich, possessive Forsytes across decades of English change.
Soames Forsyte, divorced from Irene, wants an heir and pursues the young Annette Lamont. Irene, meanwhile, finds late love with Soames's cousin Jolyon, now head of the family's other branch. Old bitterness poisons every new happiness, and the war years hang over the younger generation. Galsworthy shows a proud family slowly learning that money cannot settle matters of the heart.
