The Good Soldier
by Ford Madox Ford
This book was a fun read! It takes place before and after World War One, and discusses a lot of different issues that would have (and to this day actually) been prevalent.
The narrator of the story is a man whose wife is having an affair. He knows she is, and she doesn't really try and hide it. The tough part is he loves his wife, and he kinda has feelings for the other man's wife too, but doesn't act upon them because he knows it's wrong. The two couples spend time together in Germany before the war, and the novel is written in the style of ramblings of the husband. I wasn't sure how I was going to like that type of writing/storytelling as usually I like more structure, but I actually enjoyed the back and forth ramblings of the narrator. It provided a different tone to the book and was an interesting discussion on the morales of society.
A fun classic!
