Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
4.0

A great book of WASP Ryder subsumed into a Catholic aristocratic English family in the intra war years. The character of Sebastian is a true literary great, but he fades into the background. As Sebastian predicts his friend Charles is stolen from him by his family. Explorations of Catholicism are interesting in it's no compromise lifestyle versus the do what you want to do.

The start of the book is great, but it fades a bit. Charles' marriage seems incompatible with how his character could ever get into this relationship, but I guess it serves as a plot device.
