Over The River

Description

Over the River is the very last book in the Forsyte Saga Chronicles, picking up the story about a year and a half on from the events in Flowering Wilderness. Clare had married Sir Jerry Corven during the course of Flowering Wilderness, a man considerably older and about whom her sister Dinny had nursed private reservations. Upon her marriage, Clare had accompanied her husband to Ceylon, where she discovered her husband’s tastes run more toward the sadistic than the loving. Clare returns to England behind his back, and on the ship meets a young man named Tony Croom. The trouble soon begins when husband Jerry arrives back in England to try and entice his wife back to Ceylon with him, discovering her friendship with Tony. This is the first edition in good condition.
