Laced with cynicism and truth, A Handful of Dust satirizes a certain stratum of English life where all the characters have wealth, but lack practically every other credential. Murderously urbane, it depicts the breakup of a marriage in the London gentry, where the errant wife suffers from terminal boredom, and becomes enamored of a social parasite and professional luncheon-goer.
