The first story of this collection novel is average at best. The other stories did not really appeal to me much at all.

"This novel shows all of Waugh’s gifts for satire and farce, but unlike his earlier novels, it has a three-dimensional, tragic protagonist in aristocratic cuckold Tony Last."

I did not relate to this novel at all. I found it sterile and devoid of any suspense despite the dramatic nature of the story. Cold and depressing.
