aliceintheland 's review for:

Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
4.0
emotional funny reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

While there are many things I disliked about the characters and their habits, it was beautifully written. I struggled whenever the Catholicism came up as it felt so out of place with the rest of the story. Especially near the end.

But everything was very vivid and I loved Sebastian and Cordelia. There were even times I loved Julia. Charles not so much.
