By Ford Madox Ford FULL Audiobook Some Do Not... is the first volume of Ford Madox Ford's highly regarded Parade's End tetralogy, originally published in April 1924 by Duckworth and Co. The novel is set immediately before and during the Great War and is a tale of social cruelty among the English upper classes that pits real honor against shameless duplicity and subjects its principal characters to extremes of mental suffering that appear to be analogous to the physical horrors of the actual fighting . The novel begins with the two young friends, Christopher Tietjens and Vincent Macmaster, on the train to Rye for a golfing weekend in the country. Tietjens has a brilliant mind, and speaks it scathingly and heedlessly. Both men work in London as government statisticians; though Macmaster aspires to be a critic, and has just written a short book on Dante Gabriel Rossetti. He plans to call on a parson who knew Rossetti, and who lives near Rye. The first of the novel's two parts covers the ensuing weekend, which changes both their lives. Tietjens is preoccupied with his disastrous marriage. Sylvia, his elegant socialite wife, had left him for a lover, Major Perowne, but became bored with him. She's bored in Lobscheid too, but needs the alibi of being there to look after her mother, to account for her absence when she returns to London. Consett probes the state of her marriage, and senses that her anger towards Tietjens is far from indifference . The second chapter switches to Sylvia, who is staying with her mother at Lobscheid, a quiet German resort, with their priest, Father Consett.

She's bored in Lobscheid too, but needs the alibi of being there to look after her mother, to account for her absence when she returns to London. Consett probes the state of her marriage, and senses that her anger towards Tietjens is far from indifference . The novel explores the horrors of the war without the narrative ever entering the battlefield. Tietjens, preoccupied with his disastrous marriage, meets Valentine Wannop, a suffragette, during a round of golf. As their love story develops, the novel explores the horrors of the war without the narrative ever entering the battlefield .

It is a story of love, betrayal, and the struggle for survival in a world that is rapidly changing. The novel is a masterpiece of modernist literature and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the early 20th century .
