What Members Thought

There are many themes in this book but, to me, the greatest is the evil of religion and how its avarice nature, unchecked, will worm into lives and destroy all joy and happiness without compunction. This message, wrapped in Waugh’s sweet, elegant prose conducts the reader through this poignant, morose tale, that is, even still, utterly delightful.

Also available at BBC Radio 7.
