The end of the chapter. The girl is waiting. The desert is in color. On the other side

"End of the chapter", the last trilogy of the grand "Saga of Foresights" John Golsourcy (1867-1933) is a narrative about the family of Cherrels, closely connected by related bonds with force. Debt, traditions, honesty, service to the country - this is the motto of these people. However, in the world of changeable values ​​of post -war England, these qualities remain unclaimed. The main character, Dinnie Chernirt - charming, warm, sparkling with humor - immediately causes the response, empathy and love of the reader. Her heart is open to love and happiness, but love turns into a tragedy that is about to take away the life of the girl. The unmistakable knowledge of human characters, and most importantly, a deep understanding of society and the laws of its development make the book the total of the entire monumental epic. The last chapter came to an end, a point is set. The end of the chapter was completed by the whole life of the writer. A year before the death of Golsourcy received the Nobel Prize in literature for the "high art of narration, the top of which is the" Saga of Forsytes "".
