Title: A Handful of Dust Author: Evelyn Waugh Narrator: Andrew Sachs Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 45 minutes Release date: December 11, 2012 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Selected by Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the century, this 'absolutely delightful' novel (New York Times) movingly and comically chronicles the breakdown of a marriage and the disintegration of English society in the years after World War I. 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.
