cseibs 's review for:
Parade's End
by Ford Madox Ford
Finally finished! A wonderful doorstop of a book. Knowing very little about WWI, I found this book fascinating. Ford painted such a vivid picture of the anguish of war, and aptly used Tietjen's social status to show the hypocrisy and callousness of the home front. Before there was such a thing as PTSD, Ford was vividly writing about the mind of a broken soldier. Sylvia remained a mystery and I would have appreciated more from her perspective. But, for all her malicious oddities, she was still a believably tortured character.
