Soames Forsyte — London solicitor, collector of pictures, certain that beauty and people alike can be bought and kept — is married to Irene, who does not love him. To draw her away from London he commissions the young architect Philip Bosinney to build a house in the country at Robin Hill. Irene and Bosinney fall in love, and the whole Forsyte clan, accustomed to valuing everything as an asset, must watch the one thing they cannot purchase slip out of their hands.
