In the last three volumes of the Forsyte Chronicles Galsworthy is concerned more with the Cherrells than with the Forsytes to whom they are related by marriage. Since 1217, Cherrell sons have left Condaford Grange to serve the State as soldiers, clergymen and administrators. But the 1930s finds them uneasy in a world of changing values, unemployment and depression. In the ‘End of the Chapter’ trilogy, Galsworthy shows with irony, sympathy and great narrative skill how the Cherrells come to terms with a century driven by hand–to–mouth opportunism, setting little store by service.
