Last Post by Ford Madox Ford audiobook.

Genre: drama

Set in the uneasy calm after World War I, Last Post brings Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End to its final movement, where the battles are no longer fought in trenches but in memory, conscience, and the brittle rituals of English country life. At the center is Christopher Tietjens, once the model of duty and integrity, now returned to a changed nation and a changed self, as war's aftershocks reshape his mind, his work, and his place in society. Around him gather the people who have defined his fate: Valentine Wannop, the clear-eyed woman who offers the possibility of a life built on truth; Sylvia Tietjens, his aristocratic wife, brilliant and destructive, determined to keep power over his name and legacy; and a circle of family and observers whose private motives and public loyalties collide in drawing rooms and sickrooms alike. As old hierarchies crumble and new values rise, the novel probes what survives of honor, love, and identity when the past will not stay buried and the future demands reinvention. Taut, intimate, and sharply observed, Last Post is a portrait of a society learning to live with its wounds.
