Quick Summary

To Let is the final novel in John Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga sequence. Published in 1921, it continues the chronicle of the wealthy Forsyte family at the turn of the century. The novel focuses on the romantic entanglement between Fleur Forsyte and Jon Forsyte, the children of Soames Forsyte and Young Jolyon Forsyte, respectively. Despite their mutual attraction, their love is thwarted by the tragic history between their parents. Fleur eventually marries Michael Mont, while Jon refuses her, and Irene Forsyte leaves England. The saga critiques the Forsytes' obsession with wealth and property, portraying their clannish nature and desire for material gain as morally questionable.12
