Status Updates From Brideshead Revisited

Having a friend with depression, suffering from addiction, family trying everything to make him sober except ask how he feels. “We must keep him happy and healthy here for a bit.” This bitch is so delusional, even if Marchmain is a terrible man, I understand why he left this insane family. How I hope Sebastian has a good ending :((
TLDR Im very much enjoying the story!

“Neither of us were ready to sleep, for in New York there is a neuroses in the air for which the inhabitants mistake for energy”

well, i am halfway through. this has been interesting in many aspects. catholicism in england has not been investigated much i think, and the frustration it ignites in me is becoming weary. sebastian’s family is driving me insane. charles is still pretty mysterious to me ngl. and his father - as insane as he is, is still probably the most sensible person in this book, and i honestly get him
