John Galsworthy 
The Forsyte Saga (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading) 

The Forsyte Saga depicts the volatile mixture of love and money. The tartly rendered narrative of the Forsyte clan reveals both adultery and intrigue as it pins down the English national character. Translated into many languages and twice made into a television miniseries,
The Forsyte Saga has been admired ever since its completion in 1922.
