John Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga was an enjoyable read, and I stayed interested in the characters throughout the long book. It mainly deals with issues of upper class Edwardian society. I didn't have as much sympathy with Irene as I knew I was supposed to have -not that I was at all synpathetic with Soames either. Most of the characters seemed totally self-absorbed.
I have not seen any of the dramatizations, but there have been several, including That Forsyte Woman in 1949 where the bad guy is played by Errol Flynn.
