  • "From sleepy rural England to decadent London and the jungles of Brazil, Waugh describes the fortunes of Lady Brenda Last and her husband Tony, as her infatuation with the young man-about-town John Beaver leads to the break-up of her marriage."@en
  • "This is a satirical depiction of the 'sterile' generation between the wars. It tells the story of bored Lady Brenda Last, who abandons her husband's Gothic pile to conduct an affair with shallow socialite John Beaver of the Belgravia set. A Handful of Dust remains one of the finest tragedies and comedies of ill manners."
  • "Une sereine et digne lady est saisie par la débauche. Son mari, un aristocrate bon ton, perdu dans la jungle amazonienne et condamné à lire à haute voix les ?uvres complètes de Dickens pour ne pas mourir de faim."
