Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

A satire of decadence among the English upper class depicts the breakup of a marriage among London's gentry, following the changing relationship between Tony Last, who is obsessed with his Victorian gothic country estate, and his wife, Lady Brenda, who, bored with her husband, embarks on an affair with an ambitious social climber.


Review:

"Evelyn Waugh has two distinct manners. In one he writes audaciously amusing, sparkling nonsense....The other style he uses for his travel books....In his latest novel....Mr. Waugh undertakes to combine his two manners, and the combination doesn't quite come off."

New York Times, 1934

Book Description: Random House Inc, 2002. Mixed media product. Book Condition: New. 211 x 133 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. (Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) Evelyn Waugh's 1934 novel is a bitingly funny vision of aristocratic decadence in England between the wars. It tells the story of Tony Last, who, to the irritation of his wife, is inordinately obsessed with his Victorian Gothic country house and life. When Lady Brenda Last embarks on an affair with the worthless John Beaver out of boredom with her husband, she sets in motion a sequence of tragicomic disasters that reveal Waugh at his most scathing. The action is set in the brittle social world recognizable from Decline and Fall and Vile Bodies, darkened and deepened by Waugh's own experience of sexual betrayal. As Tony is driven by the urbane savagery of this world to seek solace in the wilds of the Brazilian jungle, "A Handful of Dust " demonstrates the incomparably brilliant and wicked wit of one of the twentieth century's most accomplished novelists.
