‘...his most carefully written and deeply felt novel..... The brightly devastating satirist of England’s twenties and thirties moves from one world to another and a larger one: from the lunacy of a burlesqued Mayfair, very glib and funny and masking the serious point in farce, to a world in which people credibly think and feel’ (NY Times Book Review). 

 

Subtitled ‘The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder’, Waugh’s defining novel details the spiritual lives behind the facades of an aristocratic family and their middle-class friend, the protagonist.
