guiltlesspleasures 's review for:
A Handful of Dust
by Evelyn Waugh
You can't beat a bit of Waugh for pleasingly jolly-hockeysticks language and (really) black humor. It starts with a standard posh English dichotomy: glamorous, debauched London and lonely country pile, and then heads off into the South American jungle for a really quite intense and unexpected ending. The characters make some unwise decisions, but Waugh doesn't judge them - he is a passive storyteller, like the best observers of wildlife.
