"...throws light on Ford Madox Ford at a crucial moment of his life...These letters represent the turning point in his life and career." - Frank MacShane. In 1917, Ford Madox Ford met the Australian painter Stella Bowen; they lived together from 1919 to 1928. For Stella, their home was 'a place in the sun and against the rain too'. For Ford this was the beginning of a new life that encouraged the completion of Parade's End. Much of the raw material for this novel appears in these letters. Their correspondence provides a rare portrait of Ford; his attitudes toward religion, education, morality, marriage, and art are expressed here unequivocally.
