Brideshead Revisited in Hove

Just returned from an evening in Hove discussing Brideshead Revisited with the Brighton Book Club. It was good to meet [profile] sassygoth24 in real life rather than LJ. With the demands of children and moving house, it's been a long time since I actually finished a novel!

Did you like it? I thought the first half was such a gorgeous love story about the tragedy of being in love with an alcoholic, but I found the last half rather too strongly catholic. But he is one of my favorite authors and, due to the first half, it is one of my favorite books.
