jmoran4 's review for:

Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
3.5

I picked this up at a bookstore in Oxford, during my first trip to Europe. It's the perfect thing to read in Europe, reflecting the lost pomp and grandeur of some once-great period in the recesses of one's memory. This loss has, of course, characterized much of Western European art and literature at least since the Romantics.
