Awakening

A young boy's mind begins to awaken to love and beauty; an old man cherishes a final season of companionship as the end of his life draws near. These two stories by John Galsworthy, set nearly two decades apart, probe the emotions connected to family, passion, and art as they are deeply felt by both grandson and grandfather, who never meet each other but are tied together through their family history. The works form the interludes of the author's celebrated Forsyte Saga, but readers will discover each also stands alone as a captivating work of fiction.
