About This Novel
There is a place near London, isolated from the world, with beautiful scenery, and a small river called the Bride flowing quietly. Brideshead Manor, an ancient mansion built in the mid-to-late 18th century, has experienced silence and long years of care. It is just a house locked in the world and experiencing changes and decline. Sebastian, the "beautiful boy under the tree", and Charles, the "reckless lover", met while studying in Oxford and spent a carefree and heavenly youth together in their lives. Then, Sebastian drifted through the lives of relatives, lovers, and passers-by, brilliant and gorgeous, but disappeared as quickly as soap bubbles; Charles experienced unhappy love one after another, and the quiet and ambiguous false happiness with Julia finally gave way to God's grace, adding a bit of mystery to the book. "The Cloth Garden Revisited - The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder" by Evelyn Waugh is not a love story, but it tells the story of love.
