Editorial ReviewsAmazon.com ReviewFirst published in 1915, Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier begins, famously and ominously, 'This is the saddest story I have ever heard.' The book then proceeds to confute this pronouncement at every turn, exposing a world less sad than pathetic, and more shot through with hypocrisy and deceit than its incredulous narrator, John Dowell, cares to imagine. Somewhat forgotten as a classic, The Good Soldier has been called everything from the consummate novelist’s novel to one of the greatest English works of the century. And although its narrative hook--the philandering of an otherwise noble man--no longer shocks, its unerring cadences and doleful inevitabilities proclaim an enduring appeal.Ford’s novel revolves around two couples: Edward Ashburnham--the title’s soldier--and his capable if off-putting wife, Leonora; and long-transplanted Americans John and Florence Dowell. The foursome’s ostensible amiability, on display as they pass parts of a dozen
