Synopsis

Two couples, two marriages; both seemingly perfect, both falling apart. Beneath the surface gentility of the American John Dowell with his wife Florence and the landed grace of Edward and Leonora lie fictions and deceit. There are secret desires, hidden power-games, suicides and madness. Everyone is hiding something; even the narrator can’t be trusted. Brilliantly inventive, tragic and ironic, The Good Soldier is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.

Author Bio

Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) was an English novelist, poet, critic, and editor whose two journals, the English Review and the Transatlantic Review, were instrumental in the development of early-twentieth-century English literature. He wrote dozens of novels during his lifetime, but he is now best remembered for The Good Soldier and Parade's End, the latter of which was originally published as four books: Some Do Not, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, and The Last Poet.
