Last Post

First published in 1928, Last Post is part four of Ford Madox Fords hugely successful Parades End tetralogy. It is about Christopher Tietjens and his life, with World War I as the backdrop.

• This book is set during a few hours of a day in June, where Tietjens is making a living as a dealer of old furniture.

The series has taken the reader from before the war, to during it, and this final novel explores the legacy of it.
