Dinny Cherrell has been proposed to numerous times, but no one has ever come close to touching her independent spirit. That is, until she encounters Wilfred Desert. They had first met at Fleur and Michael Mont's wedding and the spark of attraction felt all those years before develops into a deep, all-consuming love. But Wilfred, a wanderer made cynical by the war, is a complicated and tortured soul. When his past actions come back to haunt him, and the disapproval of Dinny's family work against them, their love is tested to the very limit.

Review
John Galsworthy (1867-1933), English novelist and playwright, who was one of the most popular English novelists and dramatists of the early 20th century. He was born in Kingston Hills, Surrey, and educated at Harrow School and the University of Oxford. He was admitted to the bar in 1890 but soon abandoned law for writing. Galsworthy wrote his early works under the pen name John Sinjohn. His fiction is concerned principally with English upper middle-class life; his dramas frequently find their themes in this stratum of society, but also often deal, sympathetically, with the economically and socially oppressed and with questions of social justice. Most of his novels deal with the history, from Victorian times through the first quarter of the 20th century, of an upper middle-class English family, the Forsytes. The principal member of the family is Soames Forsyte, who exemplifies the drive of his class for the accumulation of material wealth, a drive that often conflicts with human values.

The decline of the Forsytes,
By
This review is from: Flowering Wilderness (The Forsyte Saga: End of the Chapter) (Hardcover)
Here's my take (with a small spoiler) on the Forsytes, after finishing "The Flowering Wilderness", the eighth in the series: The first six books are excellent and well worth reading but the next two, with the central character of the first six absent, seem to lack purpose. They're well-written and enjoyable but I don't see the point. This is particularly true of "The Flowering Wilderness", which (to the modern reader) is full of extreme reactions to a minor incident.
