I’ve loved Evelyn Waugh ever since I saw Brideshead Revisited as a TV miniseries (the book is so much better). Got this as a Kindle deal and read it this week; it kept me up turning pages until 1:30 a.m. on Friday. It’s one of those books that stays in your head long after you read it. It starts out as a Wodehousian take on life in an English country house but turns into Heart of Darkness (yes) 2/3 of the way through. As a bonus, this version provides the alternate ending that Waugh wrote when the novel was serialized in a magazine. It would make a great Book Club book if your members like literary fiction and don’t have an issue with problematic endings or “unlikeable” characters. The version I read had great discussion questions at the end, too.
