No More Parades - A novel

Ford Madox Ford

Sinopsis

In "No More Parades," the second novel of Ford Madox Ford's acclaimed sequence, "Parade'Äôs End," readers are immersed in the tumultuous landscape of World War I. The narrative delves into the psychological turmoil of Christopher Tietjens, a disillusioned yet principled soldier navigating the absurdities of war and societal expectations. Ford employs a modernist literary style, characterized by shifting perspectives and complex character studies, which reflects the fragmented nature of both personal and collective experiences during this period. The novel intricately explores themes of honor, love, and the futility of war, set against the backdrop of England's changing social fabric, resulting in a profound commentary on the human condition amidst chaos. Ford Madox Ford, a pivotal figure in early 20th-century literature, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a war correspondent and his critical view of Edwardian society. His literary endeavors often challenged conventional narrative forms, paving the way for modernist literature. In "No More Parades," Ford'Äôs keen insights into the psyche of men grappling with the realities of war stem from both his personal disillusionments and his literary experimentation, marking a significant contribution to the canon of war literature. This novel is essential reading for those interested in the psychological impact of war, as well as for lovers of modernist literature. Ford's masterful portrayal of Tietjens's internal struggle invites readers to reflect on the broader implications of duty and identity in times of crisis. "No More Parades" not only enriches the understanding of Ford'Äôs oeuvre but also serves as a poignant reminder of the human costs of conflict.

A Very Disastrous Dare - A...

Elana Johnson

Sometimes a person speaks before thinking..
She's just bought the flower shop and he's taken over the hardware store for his dad. Sounds peachy, right? Sure, until they both want an assistance grant from the city...and now Emma and Aaron are rivals and neighbors.
Emma:
I’ve always believed that flowers can brighten any occasion and make anyone's day, but nothing seems to cheer up my handsome-but-grumpy neighbor, Aaron Stansfield.
Owning a flower shop next to his hardware store means our paths cross all the time, and it’s usually just a conversation about how hard it is to run a small business in a small Southern town.
Which it is. I'm barely keeping my head above water and he has a family legacy to uphold. But it would be nice to talk about something besides work, especially after our flirt-fest at Halloween last year.
People do that, right?
Apparently not us, because the city of Cider Cove is holding a community project where participating small businesses have the opportunity to win a significant grant.
And I need that money.
Aaron wants it too, and when I see him at the information meeting, I can't control myself. I sit next to him and tell him I'm going to take the prize. After all, park rebuild + flowers = winning combo.
So when he issues a dare—that we submit one application and work together to ensure the win—my stupid crush kicks in and takes him up on it.
So now we're working together on the community project, and I start seeing a different side of Aaron—the side that’s kind, thoughtful, hardworking and frustratingly...sweet.
He may be grumpy, but he’s also the one who’s always there when I need him.
As our rivalry turns into something more, I can't help wondering: Could this very disastrous dare be the start of something wildly wonderful?
