Vile Bodies

Roaring Twenties London was the place to be—at least for the wealthy and well-connected of Great Britain. With the gossip columns recording everything from their parties to their scandals, writer Adam Fenwick-Symes and his glamorous, aristocratic fiancée Nina Blount, along with an assortment of eccentric characters, explore the capricious excesses and forbidden pleasures of a life lived before the public eye—where innocence mixes with sophistication and yields shocking results. From Evelyn Waugh, "one of the most exhilarating stylists" of the twentieth century ( Newsweek), Vile Bodies reveals the darkness and vulnerability beneath the sparkling surface of society.

"Vile Bodies may shock you, but it will make you laugh." — The New York Times
