Immerse yourself in the London of the 1920s with Evelyn Waugh in 'A Handful of Dust'. This novel unmasks the prejudices, irresponsibility, and emptiness of a wealthy society marked by gossip, parties, and adulteries. Through the story of Lady Brenda Last and her search for emotions outside her marriage, Waugh criticizes the absence of values and the moral decay of an interwar world. With his characteristic mastery of tragedy, comedy, and irony, the author offers us an essential chronicle of high society in decline.
