An interesting book that I would recommend for its excellent depiction of an unreliable narrator, and as an example of the literature of the time, and how it was changing. Ford Maddox Ford was very influential on the American literature of the ensuing years after the 1915 publication of this novel. This is not a page-turner, and like other books I've read from this time period, there isn't really a deep focus on character development. But its form and style make it a worthwhile read.
