About this book
'[
The Brideshead Generation] has both style and substance, and is above all an enjoyable companion. It has a wildly amusing cast, here controlled by a skilful director.'
Evening Standard
'Jovial and entertaining, full of the sort of stories that your friends will tell you if you don't read it before them.'
Independent
'Carpenter has read widely and has collected an enormous fund of entertaining stories and facts.'
Sunday Telegraph
'Hauntingly sad and wonderfully funny and by far the best thing Humphrey Carpenter has done.' Fiona MacCarthy,
The Times
