About this listen

 The Good Soldier (1915) unfolds just before World War I, painting a poignant portrait of two seemingly flawless couples whose lives are marred by tragedy. Through a masterful use of non-chronological storytelling and the innovative technique of the unreliable narrator, author Ford Madox Ford gradually unveils a narrative that starkly contrasts with the initial impressions given. Inspired by real-life incidents of infidelity and Fords own tumultuous experiences, this novel offers a deep exploration of love, betrayal, and the complexities of human relationships. (Summary by Wikipedia) Music featured in sections 1-5 includes Minuet in G flat major and Valse Bluette by Beethoven.Copyright Plays and Dramas Art Drama & Plays
