The Forsyte's and co are such long-term companions to me now that no book could possibly disappoint. This particular instalment focuses mainly on Michael and Fleur - the former as he embarks on his political journey and the latter as she continues to climb the social ladder. On one particular night of Fleur's socialising, words are exchanged, letters are sent, Soames makes a scene and a scandal emerges.

An insult from one of her circle leads to a lawsuit that threatens to derail her rise in society. This emphasis on being in "the know" with "the new" contrasts with the altruistic tendencies of her husband Michael, who is trying to foment social change through his standing as a Member of Parliament.
