First published as four separate novels (Some Do Not́Œ, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, and The Last Post) between 1924 and 1928, Paradés End explores the world of the English ruling class as it descends into the chaos of war. Christopher Tietjens is an officer from a wealthy family who finds himself torn between his unfaithful socialite wife, Sylvia, and his suffragette mistress, Valentine. A profound portrait of one mańs internal struggles during a time of brutal world conflict, Paradés End bears out Graham Greenés prediction that ́there is no novelist of this century more likely to live than Ford Madox Ford.
