A review by tgaughan
A Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh

4.0

A book of two halves. I thoroughly enjoyed the slow deterioration of married life between Tony and Brenda in the first half. Tony ignorantly staying his ancestral pad, while Brenda tries to insert some rather dubious excitement to her life in London. And the twist, it really did make me gasp. Brenda was appalling at this point.

The second half was a little odd, though engaging. The adventures of Tony didn't seem to fit with the character we'd met previously. Looking forward to reading more Waugh.
