The first volume of John Galsworthy’s gripping family drama
Soames Forsyte’s great desire to own property even extends to his captivating wife, Irene. Jealous of her friendships with others, he concocts a plan to move her away to the countryside, where he might come to own her completely. Resisting his bitter intentions, she falls for architect Philip Bossiney, who is unfortunately engaged to her best friend (and Soames’ cousin), June Forsyte.
A gripping drama, CSA Word’s The Man of Property, the first book of The Forsyte Saga, is an absorbing audio production that faithfully and movingly serves Galsworthy’s masterful prose. The reader is Martin Jarvis, one of Britain’s best-loved actors and an award-winning audiobook narrator.
“A stately reading.”
