A Handful of Dust

Evelyn Waugh

Back Bay Books, 1999

Another Great
I won't go on and on about my praise for Waugh. He is one of my favorite writers. About the book, I felt SO bad when I read about Tony Last at the end. So cruel. So, so cruel. It gave me the shivers. So, another Waugh novel that is witty, funny, and all the other ...

Great Conversation Starter
