A Handful of Dust LK98000205 and Cane SugarsEvelyn Waugh's satirical novel captures the moral decay of interwar Britain through the unraveling marriage of Tony and Brenda Last. When Brenda's restlessness at their Gothic estate Hetton Abbey leads her toward infidelity, the consequences spiral into a darkly comic portrait of social collapse. Drawing its title from T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, this Penguin Modern Classics edition includes Robert Murray Davis's introduction and notes.
