Publisher's Summary
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 man-about-town John Beaver leads to the break-up of her marriage.

"unique listen"
I was ready to pick out Waugh's undercurrents of misogyny and racism, but he satirizes everybody equally here. A very strange but compelling listen - captivating, dark humour, really good prose that's well narrated. I haven't seen the film version, but now I can't wait to see what Hollywood did with this stange brew. Later satires on the decline of Brit aristocracy echo much of this, but Waugh is darker, deeper --- and welll, he was THERE.
