John Galsworthy, 1922

Date read: 12/27/24


This was three books in one: Man of Property, In Chancery, and To Let. Altogether it was 724 pages long which is a lot to synthesize into an opinion.


Overall, it was a great story which revolved around a woman. An entire extended family ends up divided and separated, which I understand because all families I am part of are separated, except my current husband's (which is actually separated by the Atlantic Ocean).


All in all, this was amazingly well written and cohesive despite spanning about 8 decades and focusing on many different people.
