Title: Delightful 20's sheer elegance!
Review: Quite, quite fascinating, strange, and sad. As we follow the hedonistic, somewhat dangerous pursuits of our Bright Young set from one costume party to another, we watch them scale a ladder of sensational thrills to an extent where they become so detatched from the basic emotions of reality that they lose touch, and their worlds come whirling back down.I sensed a slight touch of sarcasm in the title of the ultimate chapter, 'a happy ending', as it is not so much an ending, as another day in their hollow lives, and as for it being 'happy', we see them slowly try to piece together the remains of their lonely lives as the jazz fades out, the champagne runs dry and the war comes as a harsh reality check to the Bright Young People of 1920's party scene.Beautifully written and quite captivating to read, 'Vile Bodies' is an intriguing masterpiece that should be in everyone's library, if not their top 10 favourites.
