The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford
This is the story of fatal attraction and its consequences. The American narrator's highly-strung wife falls for his bluff, inarticulate English friend. Retrospectively piecing the story together, the betrayed and now widowed husband puzzles over the mysteries of the affair.
A central figure, artistically and influentially, in the modern movement..a masterpiece of Impressionism, as well as of intricate plotting, technical manipulation and powerful irony. * Review *
A sense of ambiguity and fluidity, of there being no absolutes, only relativities, is dazzlingly displayed in The Good Soldier * Review *
