AUDREY'S ONE-SENTENCE BOOK REVIEWS

Waugh pits the stifling values of Catholicism and English aristocracy against bisexual bohemian whimsy; love of God and country versus love for beauty and life. The author seems to think he has written the triumph of Catholicism. I, the reader, and therefore the deciding party on the matter, disagree.
