The first novel of the Forsyte saga and the BBC adaptation comes flooding back even though it was 50 years ago and me barely in my teens. The novel paints Soames exactly as I remember him but with the added touches only a novel can bring. It paints a fantastic picture of life in late nineteenth century Britain for a narrow bunch of the aspiring middle class. Narrow in scope but great in execution 9/10
