CCC Book Club: The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford
2026-03-30 19:00 - 20:30 | Christ Church Cranbrook, 470 Church Road, Bloomfield Hills, MI, 48304, United States
The Good Soldier, by Ford Madox Ford, a masterpiece of twentieth-century fiction and an inspiration for many later, distinguished writers. You may join us for the discussion even if you have not read the book. Set before the First World War, The Good Soldier tells the tale of two wealthy and sophisticated couples, one English, one American, as they travel, socialize, and take the waters in the spa towns of Europe. They are playing the game in style. That game has begun to unravel, however, and with compelling attention to the comic, as well as the tragic, results, the American narrator reveals his growing awareness of the intrigues and emotional betrayals that lie behind its facade.
