scottjeffe 's review for:

Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
4.0

Second time around on this book. Charles and Sebastian’s interwar years begin at Oxford and end in the depths of the Second World War. Charles spends these years looking in on the strange Flite family - the Marquises of Marchmain. I had forgotten the degree to which Waugh delves into the weird issues of British Catholics. All in all a pretty dim portrayal of the British aristocracy.
