chloeimogen 's review for:
A Handful of Dust
by Evelyn Waugh
FUCK BRENDA I'M SO GLAD THERE'S AN ALTERNATE ENDING. This book tore me up. It made me so upset and frustrated I had to vent to my mum who probably had no idea what I was talking about and probably didn't care either. But I had to talk to someone about the torture Evelyn Waugh put me through. He's the first person I would want to speak to if there is a heaven. This book starts out seeming like a cosy little English novel about posh people and parties, but becomes more unbearable as you go through, the more you start to sympathize with Tony. Waugh uses a clever technique of contrasting Tony's journey and that of his unfaithful wife Brenda, which results in an extraordinary and again, painful, irony. I suggest you take the alternate ending as the true one as the original ending is far from happy.
