A Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh
3.0
If the Downton Abbey was a dark comedy... A Handful of Dust is a short and enjoyable read.
Set in the pre-WWII years, the novel gives the reader a glimpse of what life looks like under the dusty carpets of glamor and extravagance, and introduces us to a of host characters struggling to keep the dying ways of the British aristocrats alive. Both humorous and poignant, this book leaves you feeling utterly sorry for the fate of its main characters.
