I know @LeahBergen also choose this one but Ford Madox Ford was a great modernist but is sadly under-recognised and I love his work. Despite its flaws I think Parade's End is his masterpiece but the Good Soldier is full of human weakness and contradiction, he constructs his characters' psyches in a way few writers manage #aprilbookshowers #goodinthetitle
It's ridiculous how long it took to find a book with #goodinthetitle for #aprilbookshowers. This one is always an inspirational reread. "Go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here." I just got to see Neil Gaiman when he came through on his latest tour, and he continues to deliver words of wisdom and insight.
My #goodinthetitle selection for #aprilbookshowers...and a good reminder that I need to getting around to finishing up this series!
The only two books in my collection with #goodinthetitle- left over from grad school days, and totally worth a read if you're interested in colonial life for women! Anytime I can drag out Laurel Thatcher Ultrch, I'm happy! 😊 #aprilbookshowers
