There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade's End is one of them. --W. H. Auden

Christopher Tietjens has long loved the beautiful young suffragette Valentine, but the pair are held apart by Christopher's loyalty to his wife Sylvia, despite her callous infidelities, and to a set of principles which belong to an old world, and which are about to be swallowed up in the mud and chaos of the Western Front. This majestic four-part novel is one of the finest achievements of twentieth century literature.

""The Parade's End series of novels is a tour de force of writing and intelligence"" -- A.S. Byatt Guardian ""Incredible...greatest of all war books"" Independent ""Undeniable masterpieces"" Evening Standard ""Monumental"" Washington Post
