In John Galsworthy's last written novel, the conclusion of the final trilogy in his epic Forsyte Chronicles, Dinny Charwell is recovering steadily from her disastrous late love affair while now it is her sister, Clare, who is in trouble. After just eighteen months of marriage, Clare has fled from her highly esteemed but sadistic husband, Gerald, in Ceylon and boarded a ship back to England. On the boat, she meets a charming but penniless expatriate named Tony Croom, who falls madly in love with her. They develop a close but platonic relationship, unaware that Clare's husband has set detectives on her. When Clare refuses to return to her husband, he accuses her of adultery with Tony in a highly public divorce court. Though Clare wants nothing more than to divorce Gerald, she must fight the false accusation to defend her family's honor.… (altro)

This book focusses on Dinny & Clare. They are both having romance issues of very different types. Dinny is still holding a torch for Wilfred, while Clare has left her husband and is being sued for divorce. They are support by the usual cast of family and friends.
In the early books in the series, I said that I didn't think that Galsworthy could write women very well, but in Dinny he redeems himself. She is entirely believable and utterly human. I like her.
As an end this is an optimistic conclusion to a series that doesn't always see affairs of the heart turn out well. ( )

The last novel in the Forsyte Saga, this book mostly concerns Dinny Charwell's sister Clare, who has fled her husband Gerald after 18 months of marriage, because as we learn, he enjoys sexual sado-masochistic games. She flees their home in Ceylon and books passage back to England. On the boat she meets the handsome, but poor, Tony Croom.

Clare and Tony are thick as thieves on the boat, stupidly thinking that none of this will get back to Clare's husband. Of course it does, and he puts a detective on their trail, with the upshot being a divorce suit with Tony being named co-respondent. Of course the Charwell family is shocked to their knees, and also of course, it is Dinny who gets them all through it.

I found Clare to be extremely selfish as well as somewhat dim as to the consequences of her own actions. If this was the only plot in the book it would be a sad ending for the three trilogies that were Galsworthy's life work. this arre however, redeemed when Dinny finally finds a man she can truly love which makes it a happy ending all round.

This ninth and last novel in The Forsyte Chronicles was a fitting end to a wonderful story. Dinny's younger sister, Clare, has left her husband in Ceylon and refuses to give anyone but Dinny the true story of why she has left him. The husband is a brute and promises to take her to court. Times are changing, but a woman still seems to have no rights in the divorce court. Galsworthy handles it all very nicely though. I like his treatment of women in his telling of the story. Dinny also is trying to move on from her ill fated love with Wilfred Desert. The sisters both have suitable endings to their story. And even Fleur Forsyte comes out to be a good egg in the end.

If you've followed my thread, you'll see that The Forsyte Chronicles includes 9 novels and several interludes. It is divided into three trilogies:
1. The Forsyte Saga (The Man of Property, In Chancery and To Let)
2. A Modern Comedy (The White Monkey, The Silver Spoon and Swan Song)
3. End of the Chapter (Maid in Waiting, Flowering Wilderness and One More River)

According to Wikipedia: "Through his writings he campaigned for a variety of causes, including prison reform, women's rights, animal welfare, and the opposition of censorship. During World War I he worked in a hospital in France as an orderly after being passed over for military service. John Galsworthy was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932..."

After 3,000 pages, I didn't want the story to end. If you have the time, I highly recommend the entire series. ( )

Dinny, l'héroïne de la triloge "la fin du chapitre", après un deuil très douloureux va épouser celui qui l'aime depuis longtemps, car, comme le lui dit Fleur, sa cousine, "rester vieille fille serait du pur gaspillage". Là s'arrête cette saga passionnante, d'une richesse de personnages remarquable, qui tient en haleine jusqu'au bout. ( )
