A Handful of Dust
Evelyn Waugh Audio Book

After seven years of marriage, Lady Brenda Last is mildly bored with country life in the Victorian Gothic mansion that is the symbol of her husband’s family pride. The affair she drifts into with a wholly worthless young man begins as a diversion fashionable in her class and generation – and becomes a vortex of ironic calamities.

Well flavoured with Waugh’s shrewd humour, ‘A Handful of Dust' is a comic story of human misfortune.

Among Evelyn Waugh’s principal works are ‘Decline and Fall' (1928), ‘Vile Bodies' (1930), ‘Black Mischief' (1932), ‘A Handful of Dust' (1934), ‘Put Out More Flags' (1942) and ‘Brideshead Revisited' (1945).
