Young Jolyon Forsyte , who tells the story of the Forsyte family, has the unpleasant task of identifying the body of Philip Bosinney, who, engaged to June but in love with Soames's wife Irene, has been killed in an accident. Meanwhile Irene has left her husband's house and is living in a little flat in Chelsea where she teaches music. Here the eldest Forsyte, Old Jolvon, feeling old and lonely and reaching the end of his life, pays Irene a visit and tries to help her to reconstruct her life. He has also made his peace with his son Jolyon, from whom he had so long been estranged.
