jhmccabe 's review for:
A Handful of Dust
by Evelyn Waugh
This book has high highs, and low lows.
It’s a bit frenetic - when it’s being a screwball divorce comedy, it’s absolutely perfect.
But it has moments that jar so completely.
And then, like all Waugh’s books, this needs a massive racism and antisemitism warning. It’s usually especially
jarring because these moments often come out of no where in the middle of a comedic scene.
This edition included an alternative ending which I would recommend
