A Handful of Dust

Waugh, Evelyn (Autor)

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. She drifts into an affair with the shallow socialite J. Beaver and forsakes Tony for the Belgravia set. Brilliantly combining tragedy, comedy and irony, the irresponsible mood of the crazy and sterile generation between the wars is captured.
