A Modern Comedy: The White Monkey, The Silver Spoon, and Swan Song

I enjoyed this book. It was really nice to read more about Fleur, Soames and Jon.

This is the second 'three book' volumn written by Galsworthy about the Frosyte family. He lived in the years, late 1800s to 1930, and wrote about morals and habits common to the time and place. By the time you get to this vol. you are very well aquainted with the family, their virtues and faults. If you are not English, which I am not, you may find, as I did, that there are many words, slang and otherwise, that are a bit confusing. But it was enjoyable to be exposed to this difference in language. (We don't really speak English here in America. We speak American!) But people are people wherever they may live and life experiences much the same. A very enjoyable record of a large and loyal family finding their way after the Big War, dealing with the scary changes in traditions and thought. I fully recommend it to lovers of sagas.
