To Let is the final volume of the first of the three Forsyte trilogies. In it the feuds of the troubled Forsyte family continue into a new generation. The family is firmly split into two opposing and temperamentally different sides-that of the lawyer and archetypal Forsyte, Soames, and that of the renegade, "Young" Jolyon. Soames"s daughter Fleur, by his French wife Annette Lamotte, and Jolyon and Irene"s son Jon, both now nineteen years old, fall in love. However,the curse of past feuds - Irene was Soames"s first wife - returns to haunt the lives of the new generation of Forsytes and a trail of thwarted love, unfaithfulness and bleak tragedy "unfolds as the family finally begins to fall apart with Soames - the man of property- having to come to terms with the fact that his beloved mansion, Robin Hill,is unlived in and to let, and with the symbolic death of the centenarian, Timothy, the last survivor of the old generation of Forsytes.
