A Handful of Dust

Average rating3.9
This is my first Evelyn Waugh book and I did not expect the wildly modern twists or turns from a book published in 1934.
Tony and Brenda's relationship was so tedious at first--socialite babble--I almost quit. Then, the this crazy train really picked up speed.
By page 132, I already gaped and gasped a few times, but then a few pages later I had a dark laugh when Jenny Abdul Akbar said, "Little Jimmy."
Waugh's dark sense of humor and keen insight into Society life rivals Julian Fellowes. I'm a fan.
