The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion

The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion is a 1915 novel by
English novelist Ford Madox Ford. It is set just before World War I and
chronicles the tragedies of the lives of two seemingly perfect couples. The
novel is told using a series of flashbacks in non-chronological order, a
literary technique pioneered by Ford. It also makes use of the device of the
unreliable narrator, as the main character gradually reveals a version of events
that is quite different from what the introduction leads you to believe. The
novel was loosely based on two incidents of adultery and on Ford's messy
personal life.
