The care and trouble he took over the work are reflected in his successive revisions of its text in manuscript and print. Waugh wrote the book with half an eye on his own recent experience of the break-up of his marriage to Evelyn Gardner.
It is a darkly bitter account of the end of a marriage, its causes and its effects.
Evelyn Waugh's A Handful of Dust (1934) is often thought to be among his best novels.
