A review by markludmon
The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford

4.0

The story of two highly dysfunctional marriages told by a highly unreliable narrator who is part of the bleak and torturous drama. It exposes the consequences of late-Victorian repression and sentimentalism on individuals attempting to conform to what makes someone a “good” person. The deliberately rambling structure (by an often-misogynistic narrator) belies an intricate unravelling of the value systems at play in polite English society in the years before World War One.
