Instead it was the story of a household a family & a journey of religious faith
- an elegy in many ways for a vanishing world & a testimony to a family he had fallen in love with a decade earlier. The Lygons of Madresfield were every bit as glamorous eccentric & compelling as their counterparts in Brideshead Revisited. In this engrossing biography Paula Byrne takes an innovative approach to her subject setting out to capture Waugh through those friendships that mattered most to him.
