A Handful of Dust

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Evelyn Waugh

After seven years of marriage, the beautiful Lady Brenda Last is bored with life at Hetton Abbey, the Gothic mansion that is the pride and joy of her husband, Tony. She drifts into an affair with the shallow socialite John Beaver and forsakes Tony for the Belgravia set. Brilliantly combining tragedy, comedy and savage irony, A Handful of Dust captures the irresponsible mood of the 'crazy and sterile generation' between the wars. This breakdown of the Last marriage is a painful, comic re-working of Waugh's own divorce, and a symbol of the breakdown of society. See more

About Evelyn Waugh

Evelyn Waugh was born in Hampstead in 1903 and educated at Hertford College Oxford. In 1928 he published his first novel Decline and Fall which was soon followed by Vile Bodies (1930) Black Mischief (1932) A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938). During these years he also travelled extensively and converted to Catholicism. In 1939 Waugh was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards experiences which informed his Sword of Honour trilogy (1952-61). His most famous novel Brideshead Revisited (1945) was written while on leave from the army. Waugh died in 1966.
