#Fleur Forsyte

[thisbluespirit]

"Oh, who will up and follow me / To win a blooming bride? / Her father he has locked the door / Her mother keeps the key / But neither bolt nor bar shall part / My own true love from me.”

[coolcatkerr]

Jon + Fleur - "Don't give up on us Jon, please don't give up" (The Forsyte Saga)

"But we're meant for each other, we're meant to be!" 

"No, I don't think so." 

I watched this when I was 12 and was truly heartbroken when Jon and Fleur didn't end up together. 

Watching this almost every year since, you gain a better understanding of The Forsyte Saga as you get older, but still doesnt make this love story any less sad.   

This is the second series to the Forsyte Saga, if you have not seen either you should go watch as it's fantastic story and actors. You can watch it on BritBox atm, go do it! 

For those wishing a summary: 

Fleur and Jon Forsyte meet and fall in love, ignorant of their parents' past troubles, indiscretions and misdeeds (from season one of the show). Once Soames (Fleur's father), Jolyon, and Irene (Jon's parents') discover their romance, they forbid their children to see each other again. Knowing he is soon to die from a weak heart, Jolyon tells Jon the events of Irene's marriage to Soames, including her love affair with Philip Bosinney and Soames's rape of her and warns him that Irene would be alone if he were to marry Fleur.  When Jolyon suddenly dies of a heart attack Jon is left torn between the past and his present love for Fleur. He ultimately rejects Fleur, breaking his own heart as well as hers and leaves for America. Fleur marries Michael Mont, though she knows she doesn't love him, convinced that it is better to be in a loveless marriage than to be exposed to heartbreak.

The Silver Spoon

The Silver Spoon - by John Galsworthy, the second volume of The Modern Comedy trilogy

The Silver Spoon – John Galsworthy Galsworthy’s Forsyte Chronicles stretched to nine volumes and the Silver Spoon in some senses marks the midway point, being the fifth in the series and the second of the Modern Comedy trilogy. Published in 1926, it follows the story of Soames Forsyte and his daughter, Fleur, now married to Michael Mont and mother of a son, Kit, described as the eleventh…

🌌 “I always think so very highly of the art of Max Popov as he is one humongously gifted autodidact hyper-realist in every expression of his... Without further ado, here's one more MJ for you and it is a comparison to his real 1993 photo. Yes, indeed, I do believe that the work by Max is extraordinary & I hope you enjoy it.” 🌌 “On the Left - photo & on the Right - artwork by Max Popov, done with HD acrylic color pencils and yes, it is an artwork on HQ drawing paper.” — Fleur Forsyte, FB.

Barbara La Marr (née Reatha Watson le 28 juillet 1896 à Yakima, État de Washington, et morte le 30 janvier 1926 à Altadena, Californie) est une actrice, danseuse, poète et scénariste américaine.

Elle tient ses premiers rôles sur les planches à huit ans, puis danse en duo avec Ben Deeley. Elle débute au cinéma comme auteur, en 1920, avec le scénario autobiographique Flame of Youth. Douglas Fairbanks, sacré « roi de Hollywood », lui donne un rôle secondaire dans The Nut, puis lui offre celui de Milady dans Les Trois Mousquetaires, film réalisé par Fred Niblo. Sa beauté remarquable la dispose aux rôles exotiques et aventuriers des superproductions de la MGM, dont le patron, Louis B. Mayer, est probablement amoureux d'elle.

Barbara La Marr, opposée à la virginale Lillian Gish, joue dans Le Prisonnier de Zenda de Rex Ingram, La Bouteille enchantée de Maurice Tourneur, The Eternal City de George Fitzmaurice et The Girl from Montmartre d'Alfred E. Green.

Durant le tournage de ce dernier film, elle meurt à 29 ans « des suites d'une brutale cure d'amaigrissement compliquée par un état dépressif et éthylique » (selon Olivier Eyquem).

Mayer lui rendra hommage, plus de dix ans après, en attribuant à l'actrice autrichienne Edwige Kiesler le pseudonyme d'Hedy Lamarr quand d'autres sources indiquent une autre motivation sans lien avec Barbara La Marr précocement décédée.

The train went on; and again Fleur leaned forward.  “I never let go,” she said; “do you?” // Jon shook his head vehemently.  “Never!” he said.  “Will you write to me?”

....Jon seized her hand in gratitude and they sat silent, with the world well lost, and one eye on the corridor.  But the train seemed to run twice as fast now, and its sound was almost lost in that of Jon’s sighing...  “We’re getting near,” said Fleur... “Oh!  Jon, don’t forget me.”

On to SWAN SONG, book 6 of the FORSYTE CHRONICLES. The novel is set in 1926, published in 1928 - Galsworthy is certainly casting his eye on the English society contemporary to his life. This book basically concludes the story of Soames Forsyte (and his immediate family: daughter Fleur, son-in-law Michael, sister Winifred), but there is a concluding trilogy with extended family. The GENERAL STRIKE of 1926 is a key plot point. Also, Fleur's cousin Jon, her first infatuation, returns to England. So enjoyable - easy to read but with serious insight into the struggles of post-war England. (at Bedford, Nova Scotia)

Book Corner – January 2021 (1) - To Let by John Galsworthy, the conclusion to the Forsyte Saga trilogy

To Let – John Galsworthy

Going through my library on my Kindle I found that whilst I had read the first two books in Galsworthy’s Forsyte Saga, Man of Property and In Chancery, I had not completed the trilogy. Looking for something different from my diet of Golden Age detective fiction, I decided to give the final part, To Let, published in 1921, a go. Galsworthy went on to write another six…

The Book 

The Gingerbread House By Kate Beaufoy

The Gingerbread House

Nestled among cherry trees in a picturesque country garden, the Gingerbread House resembles an illustration from an old-world storybook. But beware! For in the fairy-tale, that s where the witch lives…

Away from the city, with no distractions, the Gingerbread House seems like the perfect place to start work on a novel. That’s what former advertising copywriter Tess thinks when she goes there to live with Eleanor, her aged mother-in-law. But Eleanor is suffering from dementia, and caring for her proves tougher than Tess could ever have imagined: feeling increasingly isolated, her only comfort is wine o’clock and weekend visits from her husband. Meanwhile her teenage daughter Katia is helpless to intercede; in the end, she can only watch as things fall apart and a tragedy even closer to home surfaces.

The Gingerbread House is a deeply moving novel: a compassionate and occasionally wickedly funny tale of a family’s agonising struggle with dementia.

My Review

The Gingerbread House By Kate Beaufoy

I read the book in one setting, I always go into a book without reading the back cover blurb. I like to be opened minded and ready for whatever journey the author wants me to go on and which lessons I can learn from each crisp new page.

With this book, the cover gives nothing away. But it is beautiful with the strong colours.

Beaufoy writes with such purity and honesty that the heinous topic that is the heart of this book is laid out in front of us in its raw naked state. Beaufoy does not try to sugar coat the struggle that millions of older Adults who are caring for their elderly relatives face each day.  Having seen my own parents cope with the illness Dementia slowly stealing my Nana Alice. I could relate to the frustration and angst of the main character. It was a slap to my younger self as to what they went through.

I love the way the Little Mermaid and Charlottes Web are incorporated into the book. They play a very important role. I thought it was a beautifully creative way to relate to us important details of the story.

So what did I learn from my journey of the book? It made me reflect on the past and I had the urge to immediately tell my friends about the book so I could talk about it and dissect ours and the Authors thoughts.

Although the journey is uncomfortable at times. It has perfectly times humour. On point and even made me laugh out loud at times.

  Q&A With Kate Beaufoy 

Describe yourself using three words? 

Nature-loving. Irreverent. Impatient.

What inspired you to write your first novel? 

I was hitting a very dangerous age for an actress, and I thought it might be a good career move. It was only after I hit the mid-point of the first novel that I realised I’d fallen head over heels in love with writing! My chief regret is that I didn’t start sooner. If any of you reading this are putting off writing your novel because you don’t have time, my advice is to set your alarm for 90 minutes earlier in the morning and just do it!

What time of day do you like to write? 

I can’t write much later than 6.00 or 7.00 pm – like most people I just want to spend the evening chilling in front of Netflix. But my brain is in work mode all the time, so I have to keep a notebook by my side to jot down any thoughts that come into my head. If I wake in the very early morning, it’s a bonus. I just bring a cup of tea back to bed and get cracking – I’m at my most productive in the hours before breakfast.

What is your favourite book and why? 

Vanity Fair. I based the heroine of my last novel – Another Heartbeat in the House – on Becky Sharp, who has to be the wickedest, most engaging leading lady ever written.

How did you pick the title of your book? 

The narrator of the book – a fourteen-year-old girl called Katia – chose the title for me. When you read it, you’ll understand why.

Are the characters in your book based on real people?

Some famous real life people make appearances in my historical novels – Picasso, Coco Chanel, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, William Thackeray – so I had to research very carefully in case I got details wrong. The local library is the best place to research – you can pick up information there that hours trawling on Google won’t disclose.

What’s your favourite word? 

Home.

If you were a colour what would it be? 

A designer I know – the fabulous Lainey Keogh – once kindly agreed to dress me for a very special event (it was an opening night on Broadway). She looked me up and down, then brought out a beautiful, incredibly fragile gossamer tunic. It was sea green with tiny flecks of gold. So I guess that’s my colour!

Who is your favourite Author? 

My favourite author is my best friend, Marian Keyes.

If you could give any literary villain a happy ending who would you chose? 

I love this question! I’ve never been asked it before. I think it would have to be Soames Forsyte. He is a thoroughly unpleasant character – cold and almost reptilian – but his love for his daughter Fleur redeems him. *Spoiler Alert – His death at the end of the Forsyte Saga, when he is trying to save his paintings from the fire is brilliantly written.

Are you working on a new project? 

I am – a new historical novel – but I have had to put it out of my head until The Gingerbread House has been launched. The Gingerbread House is so different to anything I’ve written before that I need to concentrate all my brain cells on promoting it.

Do you have any upcoming events our members can attend? 

Yes! For readers based in Ireland, I’m participating in the Mountains to Sea festival on Saturday 18th March – see http://bit.ly/2lMFQvN for details.

My thanks to @katebeaufoy for the journey and the chance to be on your tour I am honoured, Lina @bwpublishing  thanks for your awesome continuing support to Love Books Group.
