The meeting of John and Florence Dowell and Edward and Leonora Ashburnham in a German health spa is the centre of a train of lies, deceptions, adulterous love triangles and deaths. John Dowell, a memorably "unreliable" narrator, calls it "the saddest story I have ever heard". His narrative distance stems partly from the distance in time of the events, partly from his absence from some of them, but mostly from his ignorance or denial of realities as intimate as his wife's serial deception.

I was an English major in college and am about to start my Master's study in creative writing and I absolutely adore this book. It's nearly 100 years old, but the themes of deception, betrayal, and confusion as told through the lens of the unreliable narrator are as contemporary as a reader could hope for. The pacing of the story and the shifts in time are flawlessly executed and make the reader feel energized.
