An abundance of characters all centered around the main characters Soames and Irene. They are flawed people with the exception of Irene. Soames is particularly evil one. We witness an evil act that stains the Forsyth family and despite some happier moments generations later spews it's ugly head. By the end the only one who bears the cost seems to be the most innocent of them all is Irene's son. I feel like Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is the future of Fleur Forsyte.
