Owner's inscription on half-title erased.. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). The second in the final Forsyte sequence 'The End of the Chapter'. Dinny Cherrell has been proposed to numerous times. But no one has ever come close to touching her independent spirit. That is, until she encounters Wilfred Desert. They had first met at Fleur and Michael MontÕs wedding and the spark of attraction felt all those years before develops into a deep, all-consuming love. But Wilfred, made cynical by the war and a wanderer, is a complicated and tortured soul. When his past actions come back to haunt him, and the disapproval of DinnyÕs family work against them, their love is tested to the very limitÉ
