The second trilogy of 'The Forsyte Chronicles' is titled 'A Modern Comedy'. The White Monkey is the first book of this second trilogy. (Three trilogies comprise the entire series known as 'The Forsyte Chronicles'.)

In The White Monkey, Fleur and Michael Mont begin to question their marriage when their good friend, author Wilfred Desert, can no longer contain his passion for Fleur. Fleur finds herself torn between her love for Michael and passion for Wilfred.

Meanwhile, Soames Forsyte, as a director of the Providential Premium Reassurance Society, must root out the rumored indiscretions of a manager's dubious dealings with the Germans. The whole while, he is haunted by a painting of a white monkey with rinds of crushed fruit flung about it and eyes searching for something more.
