A Handful of Dust is a brilliant satirical novel that exposes a layer of English society in which wealth is the only true currency and moral values have all but vanished. The story follows the collapse of an aristocratic marriage in London, where Brenda Last, bored with her comfortable life after seven years, becomes infatuated with a shallow, pleasure-seeking man named John Beaver. Leaving behind her husband Tony and the grand estate of Hetton Abbey—his source of pride and identity—Brenda sets off a chain of emotional and social upheavals. Waugh blends tragedy, sharp comedy, and biting irony to portray the irresponsibility and restlessness of a generation living between the two World Wars. Through its unforgettable characters and merciless social critique, the novel reveals the emptiness beneath polished surfaces. The result is one of Evelyn Waugh’s most enduring and brilliantly crafted works.
