Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh - A Short Summary and Review

 


A short summary of Brideshead Revisited:

A captain laments his loves and losses among the ruins of war.


My favorite Evelyn Waugh quote from the book:

"To know and love one other human being is the root of all wisdom."



Questions to ponder while reading:

Do you fit in?

Are you prone to depression?

My review:

A touching nostalgic look at England's past.

Descriptive and evocative.

I disapprove of some of Charlie's choices.
