Helpful Score: 4
This novel is such a wonderful read and Waugh's prose is simply elegant. The novel, which is both a tragedy and comedy, examines the slow decline of high society England. Roles of women, marriage, and religion are fully explored, making this text one of Waugh's defining achievements.
I highly recommend this novel to any ambitious reader looking for a story with depth, character, and emotion. In terms of vocabulary it is an easy read, but the characters and their lives will have you thinking of them for days after the story ends.
