Description
John Galsworthy published The Silver Spoon in 1926, part of his second Forsyte trilogy, A Modern Comedy. The story now centers on Fleur Forsyte, Soames's daughter, and her husband Michael Mont. Galsworthy set the action in the restless England of the 1920s.
Fleur, born with the silver spoon of the title, hunts for excitement and status in fashionable London. A libel case, a trip related to America, and clashes with her aging father test her marriage. Soames watches the new generation with worry and grudging love. The novel satirizes the smart set while keeping sympathy for its flawed people.
