About
In Chancery is the second novel in John Galsworthy's epic Forsyte Saga, a brilliant social satire about an upper-class family. After suffering the death of her lover and abuse from her husband Soames, Irene Forsyte has finally left her marriage for good. Though disgraced by her affair, she forms a bond with young Joylon, another Forsyte who had been disinherited after divorcing his wife to marry a penniless governess, now dead. Drawn together in sympathy, they soon fall in love, much to the horror of Soames Forsyte.
