'Books' could be right - The Forsyte Saga was three books?

the forsyte saga is not an aga saga. aga saga is a modern genre. if you don't know what it is look it up (in your crystal ball).

yes, but that does not really catch it. i quote......

While the label has been applied to settings within other genres, it is typically interpreted to refer to "a tale of illicit rumpy-pumpy in the countryside" according to a 2007 article in The Observer. In setting, according to an earlier article in that paper, it offers a "gingham-checked world" associated with "thatched English villages" and "ladies in floral dresses". Guardian book critic Laura Wilson described an Aga Saga setting as "complete with sprawling, untidy farmhouse (flagstones, dogs, Wellington boots, and much nursing of mugs of coffee)".

you were saying,rambler......
