The Good Soldier

byFord Madox Ford, Zoe Heller (Introducer)
A brilliant and heart-rending evocation of destructive passion.

When John Dowell and his wife befriend Edward and Leonora Ashburnham they appear to be the perfect couple. He is a distinguished soldier and she is beautiful and intelligent. However, what lies beneath the surface of their marriage is far more sinister and their influence leads John into a tragic drama that threatens to destroy everything he cares about.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ZOE HELLER

The narrative casts a mesmeric spell... intelligent, beautifully written, heartfelt and true, and a great book
