Flowering Wilderness by John Galsworthy

3.0

I enjoyed this - the 8th in the Forsyte Chronicles. It was based on a premise which I couldn’t fully see from the point of view of the characters (I think either because it upheld a value that is very British and being Australian, I’m not quite on the same wavelength, or it was a value more prized around the time the book was written (1930s) and has lost favour now - or a combination of both), but it was still a good read.

It didn’t quite follow the path that I thought it was going to, and then the ending also wasn’t quite what I expected, but it kept me hanging on throughout, wanting to read more to find out what happened next. 3.5 stars.
