Book description
Jon Forsyte is back. After years living in America with his mother
Irene, he is excited to be home and can't wait to show off his roots to
his new bride. When Fleur Forsyte, now Fleur Mont, his first love, hears
of his arrival, she doesn't know what to feel. She's married too,
though, with a little boy so there's no reason why they all can't meet
as friends. But feelings so strong are not easily contained. And when
their passion is rekindled, no one can halt the devastating events that
follow - the secret culmination of an old, old story... John
Galsworthy was born on August 14, 1867, in Surrey and came from an
established, wealthy family. Called to the Bar in 1890, he soon decided
to abandon law and turn to writing. THE FORSYTE SAGA is his most
celebrated work, but he was also a successful dramatist. He was awarded
the Nobel Prize for literature in 1932. In 1891 Galsworthy met his
cousin's wife Ada Nemesis Pearson and they embarked on a scandalous
affair, eventually marrying after Ada's divorce in 1905. John Galsworthy
died on January 31, 1933.
