A review by sungmemoonstruck
Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

A wistful, funny, tragic look back at a crumbling aristocratic family and a lost era that's both deeply readable and thematically challenging. I feel like there's still so much to unpack with this! I especially enjoyed the Oxford-set sections, the sharp dialogue, and the society drama
