My favorite character was
I will say, however, Evelyn Waugh is a talented writer. He weaves the atmosphere of smoky rooms, amber colored drinks, sunshine-drenched country roads and rolling oceans beautifully, and the atmosphere of the story was well developed. I could easily imagine each scene as we travelled with Charles through the story.
All in all, if you are a fan of stories with lots of elaborate entanglements and romantic language, especially as it may have taken place in the 1920s, it might be something you'd enjoy. However, I feel I've had quite enough of the Flytes family for a lifetime.

Manchmal spüre ich den Druck der Vergangenheit und der Zukunft von beiden Seiten so stark, dass für die Gegenwart kein Platz mehr ist.
