No More Parades

"No More Parades" is the second novel in Ford Madox Ford's "Parade's End" tetralogy, published in 1925. Set against the backdrop of World War I and its aftermath, the narrative continues to explore the complexities of love, duty, and identity through the experiences of its protagonist, Christopher Tietjens, an English gentleman and government statistician. As Tietjens navigates the challenges of war and the upheavals of post-war society, he grapples with his conflicting feelings for his estranged wife, Sylvia, and his lover, Valentine Wannop. The novel delves into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the search for meaning in a world shattered by conflict. Ford's evocative prose and psychological depth capture the uncertainty and disillusionment of the era, offering a poignant portrayal of one man's struggle to find his place in a changing world.
