A Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh
4.0

Written with Waugh's typical dry humour, this book cleverly satirises the foibles of the upper class England of the early to mid 19th century. It has humour, adventure, tragedy and an ultimate creepiness and I couldn't put it down. Surprisingly I found the main protagonist to be a rather sympathetic character and ended up being miffed at Waugh's cavalier treament of him, so the ending was a bit of a let down for me.
