This edition of the great classic that launched a thousand teddy bears has been released to coincide with the new film adaptation, which stars Ben Whishaw, Emma Thompson and Michael Gambon. Charles Ryder, a young, middle-class Englishman, becomes entangled with a wealthy, eccentric Anglo-Catholic family, the Marchmains, and in particular with Sebastian, the flamboyant young son. The evocation of early 20th century British upper class life and Cambridge is exquisite, and the analysis of the mechanisms of guilt, betrayal and entitlement are still socially relevant.
