jhcopp 's review for:
Brideshead Revisited
by Evelyn Waugh
The way this book sets itself up for the more serious middle and ending is disarming and effective, and every part of it drew me in. I was enchanted by the absurd, irreverent, aesthete existence at Oxford and Brideshead, but the graver parts of the book really struck a chord. The ambiguity of Charles and Sebastian's relationship and its impact on Charles's understanding and experience of love was great, and though it's not for everyone, I thought the ending was a well-suited conclusion.
