MAY BOOK
We're back to fiction for May. Our selection is Brideshead Revisited (link) by English author Evelyn Waugh. The book was adapted for television as an 11 part BBC miniseries in 1981 and later filmed in 2008. Join the usual suspects on Tuesday, May 14 at our Zawa's haunt (link) at 7pm. All welcome all the time.
The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh's novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the years before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder's infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes to finally recognize only his spiritual and social distance from them.
