Description
The Man of Property is the first novel of the trilogy, The Forsyte Saga, by John Galsworthy (1867-1933). One day, all the Forsytes gathered at Old Jolyon Forsyte's house to celebrate the engagement of his granddaughter, June, to Philip Bosinney, a young architect. At the party Bosinney met Irene, June's aunt. Irene had a profound aversion for Soames, her husband. In his efforts to please her, Soames planned to build a large country place. Deciding that June's fiancรฉ would be a good choice for an architect, he bought an estate at Robin Hill and hired Bosinney to build the house. As the work proceeded, Bosinney talked to Irene alone. That day, Irene and Bosinney fell hopelessly in love with each other. When the house was completed, Soames sued Bosinney for exceeding his highest estimate. Bosinney lost his case. The previous night Bosinney, after spending the afternoon with Irene and learning that Soames had forced himself on her, was accidentally run over by a carriage. A short time after Bosinney's death, Irene left Soames permanently.
