Charles Ryder returns to a war torn estate and reminisces in heartbreak and satire about his days at Oxford, while the gilded age declines. The author, who wrote the novel when he was stationed in Croatia during WWII, apologizes for the decorous prose. No need. It’s luscious and prim at once, a fitting style for the undoing of his sentimentality over the lady and friends he thought he knew.
