Episode 42- Revisited

Written By Paperback Perfumes

“I should like to bury something precious in every place where I've been happy and then, when I'm old and ugly and miserable, I could come back and dig it up and remember.”

 
 

Fliss Walton returns to the podcast to engage in a thoughtful discussion about Evelyn Waugh's 'Brideshead Revisited,' a novel that stands out as one of her all-time favourite books. Waugh’s has a beautifully light touch when it comes to the intricate themes of love, profound loss, and the weight of social expectations, examining how these elements intertwine with the experiences of the novel's characters. This enlightening conversation also touches on the bittersweet notion of nostalgia, the complexities of relationships, and the multifaceted nature of love, with a particular focus on the dynamics between Charles, Julia, and Sebastian. Through the exploration of these deep themes, we also make connections to various fragrances that encapsulate the essence of the story, as well as the significant role that place and environment play in shaping our experiences and relationships throughout life.
