Sinopsis

Set just before World War I, The Good Soldier chronicles the tragedy of Edward Ashburnham and his seemingly perfect marriage, as well as the marriage of EdwardâÇÖs American friend, John Dowell. Edward has had a nine-year affair with JohnâÇÖs wife, who uses a fake heart condition to avoid intimacy with her husband. Affair after affair costs Edward a fortune in bribes, blackmail, and gifts for his lovers. His wife Florence must set their differences aside and sort out their financial situation.áThe novel is told using a series of flashbacks in non-chronological order, a literary technique that formed part of Ford Maddox FordâÇÖs pioneering view of literary impressionism. Ford employs the device of the unreliable narrator to great effect as the main character gradually reveals a version of events that is quite different from what the introduction leads the reader to believe. The novel was loosely based on two incidents of adultery in FordâÇÖs messy personal life.This case laminate collectorâÇÖs edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.á
