cnyreader 's review for:

A Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh
4.0

Brenda and Tony had a lively son, an estate in the country, and very few problems. Brenda got bored, and decided to take up with John Beaver. This, obviously, was a bad choice and the events that followed are the moral of the story.

Despite the "it's all the woman's fault" tone, the story read quickly and had some unexpected twists. It kept my interest more than I anticipated.

Food: a mouthful of hot, black coffee. Bitter, strong, not unpleasant, but maybe missing a little sugar.
