Selected by Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the century, Handful of Dust movingly and comically chronicles the breakdown of a marriage and the disintegration of English society in the years after World War I.
"Absolutely delightful" -New York Times
After seven years of marriage, the beautiful Lady Brenda Last has grown bored with life at Hetton Abbey, the Gothic mansion that is the pride and joy of her husband, Tony. She drifts into an affair with the shallow socialite John Beaver and forsakes Tony for the Belgravia set.
In a novel that combines tragedy, comedy, and savage irony, Evelyn Waugh indelibly captures the irresponsible mood of the "crazy and sterile generation" between the wars.
