Coming up this month!
This month, the PBS Books Readers Club brings you an exclusive behind‑the‑scenes look at what’s sure to become your next Masterpiece obsession: “The Forsytes.”
Join hosts Fred Nahhat and Lauren Smith as they sit down with “The Forsytes” Head Writer Debbie Horsfield as she reveals how she helped transform John Galsworthy’s classic “The Forsyte Saga” novels into a bold, new series.
“The Forsytes” sweeps you into the rise, and the reckoning, of a powerful stockbroking dynasty in late Victorian London. Across generations, ambition collides with duty, love tangles with power and the pursuit of happiness comes at a dangerous cost.
This new series ventures into the years before the original saga, revealing a family and an empire on the edge of transformation. Part reimagining, part prequel, it finally brings the women of the Forsyte line to the center of the story, where their influence has long been felt but rarely seen.
Debbie Horsfield is a renowned British playwright and producer, famous for her work on “Cutting It” and “Poldark.”
As Horsfield reflects, “Obviously, the books are fabulous, and there are some amazing characters in them. One of the things that I think that intrigued me about the books is that a lot of the male characters are fabulously well drawn, very detailed. Some of the women a lot less so.”
