The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion
by Ford Madox Ford
Actually 3.5 stars for me. I found this novel, written in 1915, fascinating but the linguistic style a bit dated. In the tale of intrigue, adultery, madness and suicides, Ford's central characters are alternately amusing and enraging, both in how they treat one another and how they view their marriages and friendships. I imagine the work was groundbreaking for its time, both in its narrative style and complicated morality, which may be one reason that it so influenced Graham Greene and Joseph Conrad, among others.
