Irene is the wife of Victorian "man of property" Soames Forsyte, having married without love but after many proposals. Rebelling against her husband's preoccupation with material possessions, a list in which she is included, Irene falls in love with unconventional architect Philip Bosinney, who is engaged to Soames' niece June, one of Irene's closest friends. Soames learns of Irene's affair with Bosinney, and rather than allowing Irene to leave him, he reasserts his physical rights. When Irene tells Bosinney that Soames has raped her, Bosinney, shocked nearly senseless, wanders in the foggy London streets until he is run over. After Irene learns of Bosinney's death she takes refuge with Soames' cousin Young Jolyon, who is June's estranged father but has sympathy for Irene's plight. Irene and Young Jolyon eventually marry, after Irene spurns Soames' attempts at reconciliation.
