About this listen

The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford presented by The Online Stage.

What does it mean to be "just good people?" That is how the two couples—one British and one American—in this story are described. But what happens when you look deeper, peeling back the layers of politeness and civility? It is a tale of love, of disappointment, of miscommunication, and missed opportunities. The author wanted to call the tragedy of the Ashburnhams and their seemingly perfect marriage "The Saddest Story," but his publishers asked for a "happier" title. The BBC has ranked it 13th on its list of the 100 greatest British novels.
