Title: The Forsyte Saga Series: #13 of The Forsyte Saga Author: John Galsworthy Narrator: Fred Williams Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 42 hours 40 minutes Release date: January 1, 2006 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: The Forsyte Saga chronicles the ebbing social power of the upper-middle-class Forsyte family through three generations, beginning in Victorian London during the 1880s and ending in the early 1920s.

Eventually, the Forsyte family begins to disintegrate when Timothy Forsyte, the last of the old generation, dies at the age of one hundred. In the three novels (The Man of Property, In Chancery, and To Let) and two interludes ('Awakening' and 'Indian Summer of a Forsyte') that comprise the saga, Galsworthy documented a departed way of life, that of the affluent middle class that ruled England before the 1914 war. Galsworthy's masterly narrative examines not only their fortunes but also the wider developments within society, particularly the changing position of women.

What his patrol discovers there will not only change Dag and his new bride, but will call into question the uneasy relationship between their peoples—and may even offer a glimmer of hope for a less divided future. Filled with heroic deeds, wondrous magic, and rich, all-too-human characters, The Sharing Knife: Legacy is at once a gripping adventure and a poignant romance from one of the most imaginative and thoughtful writers in fantasy today.

Title: Flowering Wilderness Series: #8 of The Forsyte Saga Author: John Galsworthy Narrator: David Case Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 54 minutes Release date: January 1, 2006 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: John Galsworthy devoted virtually his entire professional career to creating the fictional but entirely representative family of propertied Victorians, the Forsytes. He made their lives and times, loves and losses, and fortunes and deaths so real that readers accused him of including real individuals whom they knew as the characters in his drama. Flowering Wilderness, the middle novel of the third trilogy, called End of the Chapter, is the eighth novel in Galsworthy’s Forsyte Chronicles, which has become established as one of the most popular and enduring works of twentieth-century literature and was described by the New York Times as “a social satire of epic proportions and one that does not suffer by comparison with Thackeray’s Vanity Fair…[A] comedy of manners, convincing both in its fidelity to life and as a work of art.”
