"This is the saddest story I have ever heard..." So begins Ford Madox Ford's great masterpiece about the disintegration of two marriages. John Dowell, the American narrator of the story, looks back over a seemingly perfect time just before the outbreak of the First World War, when he and his wife, Florence, befriended Edward and Leonora Ashburnham, a British couple. Ford Madox Ford was a novelist, poet, critic and editor whose journals, The English Review and The Transatlantic Review, were instrumental in the development of early 20th-century English literature. Deeply passionate and moving, filled with intrigue and drama, The Good Soldier was described by Graham Greene as "probably one of the finest novels of our century".
