About this listen

 First published in 1915, *The Good Soldier* can be described as a melodrama of English upper-class infidelities, intricately pieced together and retold in a non-linear fashion by a narrator who sometimes seems half-asleep. While this perspective holds some truth, many readers have recognized the novels enchanting voice, pioneering narrative style, and sharp portrayal of erotic repression as the hallmarks of a literary masterpiece. In 2015, the BBC ranked *The Good Soldier* 13th on its list of the 100 greatest British novels. (Summary by Peter Dann)
