The Good Soldier is a modernist novel by Ford Madox Ford, narrated by the American John Dowell. It follows two seemingly content couples, the Dowells and the Ashburnhams, whose lives in European spa towns conceal betrayals and misunderstandings. Its unreliable narration and shifting chronology make it a subtle study of appearances and memory.
