Press Reviews

  • Financial Times
    Praise for THE FORSYTE SAGA: 'An immortal achievement...it is, at all levels, readability itself
  • Scotsman
    Just because they were set in a world of frock-coats and ornate drawing rooms, we should not be blind to their modern dilemmas... the satire is sharp, the dialogue, elegant and witty, and the characterisation - dazzling
  • Sunday Times
    THE FORSYTE SAGA was such a cracking good story...compulsive, as well as very modern and outrageous
  • Susan Hill
    Still a terrific read, a satisfying, long, absorbing family story...which knocks spots off its pale imitators
  • Penny Vincenzi
