  “This new trilogy is a different animal. It's not the Forsyte Sage - and thus the Forsytes themselves are pretty thin on the ground. It's not as tight in its presentation of character. But it is an interesting and intellectual (and cynical, surely, but also ever so gently humorous) look at the Roaring Twenties from the perspective of the war-torn young people trying to make sense out of life. It ends more happily than previous installments in the series (which I suspect is but a calm in the storm), and I will say that Michael Mont is an entirely adorable character (who I suspect is doomed to heartache). So, all in all, a little puffy and sloppy in places, but still thought-provoking and enjoyable.”

  “Didn't expect to do so, but I loved this just as much as the first series.”
