Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh

The last time I read a work of such overhanging sadness filled with such beauty, I read two books - The Line of Beauty is full of descriptions of art, architecture, furniture and so on while The Remains of the Day overflows with tragic romance. And I loved the latter and liked the latter, only till a point (to borrow a Wodehousian tool!).
Strongly recommend reading this book by Waugh which I started reading expecting a rollicking comedy after having read his The Scoop and parts of Vile Bodies,

Heartwarming reading. Will perhaps make a longer post when I am less overwhelmed by the novel.

Feeling all woozy, like after a nice whisky.
