About this listen

 Step into the intriguing world of The Forsyte Saga, where the complexities of a wealthy London family unfold from the 1880s to the 1920s. In Chancery, the second book in this captivating series, picks up five years after Irenes departure from Soames and the tragic death of Bosinney. Old Jolyon is immediately drawn to Irene, and upon his passing, he leaves her a generous legacy, enabling her to carve out an independent life in Paris. Meanwhile, Soames, desperate for a son, seeks to reconnect with Irene, only to face rejection. As fate intertwines their lives, Young Jolyon, now a widower and Irene’s trustee, finds himself falling in love with her. Suspecting an affair, Soames files for divorce, leading to a dramatic turn of events. Ultimately, Young Jolyon and Irene marry, and she gives birth to their son, John. Soames, in turn, remarries and welcomes a daughter, Fleur. Join us as we explore themes of love, betrayal, and the pursuit of happiness in this timeless saga. (Summary by Andy Minter)
