Young Jolyon continues the story of the Forsyte family, and tells of the loneliness of its head, Old Jolyon Forsyte, since his grand-daughter June, whom he has brought up, has become engaged to Philip Bosinney and gone off to Wales to visit her fiances aunts. So lonely is the old man, in fact, that he becomes re-united with his son, the teller of the story, after an estrangement of fourteen years.
The most important item under discussion in all Forsyte households, however, is the affair of Soames, the Man of Property, and his beautiful but icy wife Irene. Even Soames himself finds it hard to believe that Irene does not return his love, and he has planned a house in the country as a means of luring her away from undesirable influences. The house at Robin Hill is to be designed by Philip Bosinney , to whom Irene is much attracted.
