But the arrival of her latest group of immigrants for the Christmas season unleashes a series of events that disrupts her volatile existence. She is the perfect facilitator for the Portuguese workers, but dreams of becoming a British citizen and leaving this dirty business behind by transforming her husband's derelict hotels into refurbished senior citizens homes. Tânia (also known as The Mother of the Portuguese), is a former worker in these poultry plants and is now married to an English hotel owner. The factories take advantage of the numerous decaying hotels on the beach front to house the seasonal workers coming in from Portugal and Eastern Europe. Once a favorite holiday destination for the English working class, Great Yarmouth is now an echo of its former glory, a place with one of the highest unemployment rates in the UK. Hundreds of Portuguese migrant workers pour into town, seeking work at the local turkey factories. To Let, the final novel of the Forsyte Saga, chronicles the continuing. The subject of the second interlude The Awakening is the naive and exuberant lifestyle of eight-year-old Jon Forsyte.
October 2019, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (UK). The Forsyte Saga is a series of three novels and two interludes published between 19 by Nobel Prize-winning English author John Galsworthy.
