This is the penultimate book in Galsworthy’s Forsyth Saga where Donny meets Wilfred Desert last seen pining over Fleur Forsyth Mont in The White Monkey. When Dinny and Wilfred meet, there is an instant connection, and both fall hard. However Wilfred is harboring a great shame which he reveals to Dinny in a poem. While out in the Middle East, he was forced at the point of death to convert to Islam, and instead of choosing death like any upright Englishman would, he chose to convert.

Dinny really doesn't care. She only cares for Wilfred, but her family, who are great colonialists, will care - a lot. There's a lot of strum and drang over this whole issue, especially when Wilfred includes the telltale poem in a book he is publishing. It's the best poem he's ever written, but when the press get hold of the story, it becomes a real scandal.

It's hard to believe that such things would have ever been taken seriously, but at a time when taking up the "White man's burden" was still taken seriously it begins to be understandable. Galsworthy was a Victorian and expressed Victorian values. But viewed from almost 100 years difference, one can see how the whole class of English society that was bred and educated to rule the colonies was doomed. ( )

Dinny's lost her heart
those sad eyes, that bitter mouth
so much angst to soothe. ( )

This was just what I needed. Set in a short period in 1930, this centres on the Cherwll and specifically the daughter, Dinny. As seems to be customary with Galsworthy, there's a cast of characters that reappaer form earlier books. In this case Dinny meets Wilfred Desert, who we last saw of offering an affair with Fleur before heading off East when she declined. This time he's back with a story attached to him and a poem to set the world alight. Through the book, the story gradually comes to light and the way that Dinny, her family and society in general respond is the main body of the book on this occasion. There are a mixture of responses, and that makes it interesting. If the same were to happen now, the response would, I'm sure, be very different, it's interesting how culture shifts, isn't it?
In the first novels of this series, I had doubts about Galworthy's ability to write women as more than ciphers, but in Dinny he does her justice. She has a solidity that still feels real even though the times we both live in have changed dramatically. Just 1 more to go now. ( )

This is the second book in the final trilogy [End of the Chapter]. The story centres on Dinny Cherrell and her engagement to Wilfred Desert who was once Fleur's admirer. Demonstrating how the social order has changed, Dinny is a strong woman, self-assertive and determined, unlike the simpering Irene. She is one of my favourite characters of the entire saga.

This one finished with a cliffhanger of sorts making me want to start the remaining volume right away. ( )

Dinny Cherrell is still the focus of the eighth book in the Forsyte Chronicles. Dinny has turned down eligible suitors, waiting for the love of her life. In this book, she falls head over heels with the wrong man, Wilfred Desert. He's charming, a poet, moody, and with a past that comes back to haunt him. Dinny's family doesn't approve, but Dinny is determined.

I really enjoy Galsworthy's style of giving the reader a glimpse of the problems from a societal and moral view, without banging us over the head with answers that we may or may not agree with. He presents women as creatures who should have their own views and feelings, and not as possessions.

Loved this one. ( )

In 1930, shortly after the appearance of the Budget, the eighth wonder of the world might have been observed in the neighbourhood of Victoria Station---three English people, of wholly different type, engaged in contemplating simultaneously a London statue.
