Story
Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

Publisher's Summary
The wellsprings of desire and the impediments to love come brilliantly into focus in Evelyn Waugh's masterpiece - a novel that immerses us in the glittering and seductive world of English aristocracy in the waning days of the empire.
Through the story of Charles Ryder's entanglement with the Flytes, a great Catholic family, Evelyn Waugh charts the passing of the privileged world he knew in his own youth and vividly recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities.
At once romantic, sensuous, comic, and somber, Brideshead Revisited transcends Waugh's early satiric explorations and reveals him to be an elegiac, lyrical novelist of the utmost feeling and lucidity.

A Masterpiece in every way
Jeremy Irons shows his considerable acting talent and his deep connection with this wonderful novel that was so eloquently crafted by Evelyn Waugh in describing the foibles and absurdities of the interwar period.
Mr Irons’s lovely voice brings all the characters to life: the romantic, the dissolute, the sceptical, the hard-hearted and the pious. For all the brokenness and sin in the lives of its inhabitants, the magnificent pile of stones known as Brideshead, now so much abused, is revisited not only by the sorrowful Charles Ryder but by the Bride’s merciful Head.

Great read and reader!
A beautiful account of the decline of the early 20th century English aristocracy, and a young man's journey with a noble family through crises of family relationship and Roman Catholic faith. Waugh writes with a painter's touch , and Irons reads the book as splendidly as he acted the mini series.

Stunning
Jeremy Irons takes up his former role beautifully, but who knew he had a dynamite Anthony Blanche within him. All the characters actually. So beautifully voiced and portrayed. I absolutely adored this narration and will return to it often.

Beautiful and poignant
During WWII, Captain Charles Ryder’s company encamped at a mansion, Brideshead and memories came flooding back to him. He recalled his friendship years ago with Sebastian Flyte, how he grew close to the Flyte family and how he came to see up close and personal their varying struggles in the Catholic faith.
Charles’s friendship with Sebastian is just the start to the story. A sweet and beautiful start, but the story moves on quite quickly, with unexpected twists. Evelyn Waugh skillfully portrayed how different members of the Flyte family express their Catholic faith differently, which becomes a central theme in the subsequent part of the book. The language is lyrical.
I remember Jeremy Irons as the dreamy Charles Ryder in the BBC series nearly 40 years ago. It’s lovely hearing his voice as the narrator. His voice is mesmerising.

The Definitve Narration
I can't sing the praises of Jeremy Irons as narrator enough here. I see on Amazon that this version was CDN $25 and another narrator was $8. In my opinion the Irons version is worth the extra money. His reading alternates between lyrical and in-character acting. This is the best-narrated book (and it's a wonderful book!) that I have ever heard. Waugh is a master of the English language and Irons revels in his prose.
