Audiobook...........A poignant story of changing times running up to WWII. Through the lens of a grand old British family, the reader watches the collision of the past and present and the toll which this collision takes on the Brideshead family. All is narrated by a young man who got caught up with all of the family members and was witness to their decline.

It was a good story, well told. Somehow, to me it missed being great. (
