The novel follows the lives of the Forsyte family, a wealthy and influential family living in London during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The story revolves around the marital struggles of Soames Forsyte, a successful and wealthy lawyer, and his wife Irene, who is unhappy in her marriage and seeks love and affection elsewhere. The couple's relationship is further complicated by the arrival of Irene's former lover, Bosinney, who is working on a building project for Soames. As the story unfolds, the Forsyte family becomes embroiled in a legal battle over the ownership of the building project, which ultimately leads to the dissolution of Soames and Irene's marriage.
