Soames Forsyte's exquisite goods collection is most cherished by his
wife, the mysterious Irene. However, her passion for Bosinney, a
destitute architect who entirely opposes the Forsyte principles, sets
off a chain of events that can only result in embarrassment and
catastrophe. Gordon's opinions were greatly influenced by Robertson, who
thought that missionaries were the only people who could change the
settlers' lackadaisical attitudes toward sporadic church services and
tepid spirituality. He rose to prominence as a supporter of the
unification of the churches and social change in the West. As a result,
the United Church of Canada was established in the 1920s as a reaction
to the rising liberalism and secularization. Galsworthy engages the
reader in a game. He is content to give us access to the thoughts of
many characters, but not Irene. Therefore, we will have to make an
educated assumption as to why she specifically started to despise her
spouse. Soames claims to have no explanation. In a work that generally
is content to toss enormous baleful of information out the back of the
brougham, it is an infuriating but very purposeful withholding of
information.
