oh!.. really?.. its a classic; strange that I did not get acquainted with it for such a long time (but you cant embrace everything...)
The Forsyte Saga, first published under that title in 1922, is a series of three novels and two interludes published between 1906 and 1921 by the English author John Galsworthy, who won the 1932 Nobel Prize in Literature. They chronicle the vicissitudes of the leading members of a large upper-middle-class English family ... Only a few generations removed from their farmer ancestors, its members are keenly aware of their status as "new money". The main character, the solicitor and connoisseur Soames Forsyte, sees himself as a "man of property" by virtue of his ability to accumulate material possessions, but that does not succeed in bringing him pleasure.
There is a huge love drama inside... and a few generations perspective. The picture of Victorian lifetime in London is memorable... and also worth it. !LUV the reading.
Actually, I had to check the layout (thats my office duties!) but at some point could not resist and simply read every page of these thick volumes, hehe. 😜
What I want to underline -- it is a calming, providing some peace to the soul, reading.
When did you manage to find time to read this lengthy book (approx 800 pages) when you are busy working, photographing, foraging mushrooms, raising a daughter, doing husband things, keeping up on Hive, & who knows what else?😀 I saw that the "fine" producers of the televised world already turned The Forsythe Saga into a tv series. How dare they! No worries. I prefer to read the book before watching any adaptations to allow me to visualize and create how I think characters look.
Have a wonderful Wednesday! @qwerrie

Ha! Nina, you definitely can see that I am not pollinating Hive too much (doing a blog per week or so - thats bad pollinating...). And - haha - I skip the husband things, as well 😳
My reading process is rather swift... and the truth is - when I get 'hooked', I postpone drastically all the real duties I have, plans, the work I must do. No way I can say thats a good thing.. but that is how the things go! yesterday (here goes a confession, if you are curious) I skipped dinner, skipped the planned market shopping, stayed in the office till 11 AM, just sit, and read, read, read... long story indeed - but I was hooked, and did not want to cut it into two or three days. (It is a bit like watching serial on TV - the director is a bastard, he likes to finish an episode on such a scene that you almost automatically start the next episode, simply could not resist the temptation! although it's high time for you to go off to bed, !LOLZ )
ps.
This season I dont shoot mushrooms, and almost dont go out, never visited forest even once :( sad but true. I hope these warm autumn days will continue and I have some walks, have time to capture some (macro) autumn beauties.
pps.
we had a splendid time with my babygirl at the 'Inks of Childhood' festival this weekend; when I edit some pics I will share,-- it was a-ma-zing time spent!
