First broadcast in 1990, this monumental adaptation of John Galsworthy's Nobel Prize-winning novel series was a radio event. It was the most expensive drama serial ever produced, featured one of the biggest, most star-studded casts and dominated the Radio 4 schedules for more than five months, attracting more than a million listeners each week. Comprising all nine books in Galsworthy's Forsyte Chronicles, it spans 50 years - from 1886 to 1936 - and tells the irresistible story of an upper-class dynasty torn apart by a terrible feud.

When Claire Whitman receives an unexpected message from the man she once loved, it reopens a conversation she believed had ended years ago. Michael Reyes left town without explanation, choosing distance over certainty and a future he could not yet name. Claire stayed, building a quiet, stable life shaped as much by silence as by endurance. Now, with Michael back for a brief consulting project, the past resurfaces—not with drama, but with care. Over a series of deliberate meetings—walks by the river, quiet dinners, shared memories—they begin to speak honestly for the first time.
