Brideshead Revisited

Brief Summary

Some books capture youth; others capture regret. "Brideshead Revisited" does both. Charles Ryder, a middle-class student at Oxford, is fascinated by the glamorous, eccentric world of Sebastian Flyte, a champagne-drinking aristocrat. They drink too much, break the rules, and spend long, golden days at Sebastian’s grand family estate, Brideshead. But behind the glamour, Sebastian struggles with his strict Catholic family, especially his powerful mother.
