nancf 's review for:
Brideshead Revisited
by Evelyn Waugh
I enjoyed this book very much. I noticed after I started, though, that this was an abridged version. Perhaps one day I will read the book. I really enjoyed the narrator, Jeremy Northam, and the musical accents at the beginning and end of each disc.
From the back of the box:
"Captain Charles Ryder reflects upon his you, and remembers meeting Sebastian, a member of the artistocratic Flyte family, at Oxford.
Thus begin his accounts of their family home, Brideshead, where he was welcomed into the fold and a enjoyed a decadent high-society lifestyle. Things begin to unravel, however, when Charles' presence brought into the light the cracks in the veneer: the naivety of the family's devotion to the Catholic faith and his friend's increasing drink habit."
The characters were well-developed, the writing descriptive and lyrical.
