The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh's novels,
Brideshead Revisited 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 finally to recognize only his spiritual and
social distance from them.
