Brideshead Revisited | Evelyn Waugh

“So you're being divorced,“ said my father. “Isn't that rather unnecessary after you've been happy together all these years?“

“We weren't particularly happy, you know.“

“Weren't you? Were you not? I distinctly remember last Christmas seeing you together and thinking how happy you looked, and wondering why.“

Bookwormjillk I feel like there will be some sort of Catholic stumbling block (not a spoiler just a prediction from someone who married in.) No way everything ends so cleanly. 2h
willaful What a sad chapter. Though Charles' dad made me lol again.

I also have a sense of doom for Julia and Charles. I'm thinking more from one of them than from outside, but a Catholic stumbling block could change things for Julia...

I couldn't stop reading this. The writing is just exquisite. The humor is perfection. Love it.

Mehso-so

Catherine‘s holiday at Bath seems to be all the better for her introduction to the Thorpe siblings. & then it‘s love at first sight when Henry Tilley enters the scene.

This was a sweet romance that also did a fantastic job of showing the difficulties of getting ensnared into a toxic friendship, as well as how important it is to find a partner who truly understands you. I would have liked more time @ Northanger & w/ Tilney & his sister.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I agree with Fanny on one thing: Mr Sparkler will act foolishly

Yes still slogging through this one. I‘m finally going to start skipping the long-winded and irritating dialogs from certain characters to speed this along, such as Mr Dorrit and Mrs General. Whew! But I still love Dickens‘ writing in this one, too. Take this example about Edmund Sparkler!!

And we‘re back in the US. And back to uncomfortable similarities with the current times. @Texreader @Cuilin

Cuilin These American chapters are shockingly real. I got distracted reading American Notes about Dickens‘s travels in America. 22h
