I have just picked up a copy of "The Silver Spoon" whilst browsing at a bookstore. I'm now trying to figure out if I should read "The White Monkey" first. "The Silver Spoon" second, and finally "Swan Song". I have not read "The Forstye Saga". Is it fine to start at "The White Monkey" without having read the Saga?

Anna I'd say it's better to read the Saga first. Modern Comedy tied up with the Saga very much. You still can read it without reading the Saga and enjoy it…moreI'd say it's better to read the Saga first. Modern Comedy tied up with the Saga very much. You still can read it without reading the Saga and enjoy it, but you won't see the full picture and won't be able to observe some characters' journeys (particularly Soames', and I think he's Galsworthy's favorite). I think you'll appreciate it better knowing what the characters've been through. But definitely don't start with Silver Spoon. It's like... I don't know, like starting watching Star Wars with Revenge of the Sith haha)(less)
