First published 1994
The Forsyte clan rules London's upper crust with iron-clad property deeds and razor-sharp social ambitions. When Soames Forsyte—a man who treats his wife like another piece of real estate—discovers his daughter's scandalous romance, he unleashes a brutal legal campaign to control her future. His target: Young Fleur Forsyte, who has fallen for a man from the wrong branch of the family tree. As social conventions and personal desires violently clash, Soames must decide between crushing his daughter's spirit or losing everything he believes defines his world. One family. One city. Countless unbreakable rules—and the inevitable moment when those rules shatter.
