Tracing the psychological damage inflicted by battle, the collapse of England''s secure Edwardian values - embodied in Christopher''s wife, the beautiful, cruel socialite Sylvia - and the beginning of a new age, epitomized by the suffragette Valentine Wannop, Parade''s End is an elegy for both the war dead and the passing of a way of life.br>br>''The finest English novel about the Great War''br>Malcolm Bradburybr>br>''The best novel by a British writer ... It is also the finest novel about the First World War. It is also the finest novel about the nature of British society''br>Anthony Burgessbr>br>''There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade''s End is one of them''br>W.H. Audenbr>br>''The English prose masterpiece of the time''br>William Carlos Williams>
