Cakes And Ale
By W. Somerset Maugham
Introduction by Nicholas Shakespeare
Stunningly rejacked as part of a major reinvention of this neglected 20th century master
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY NICHOLAS SHAKESPEARE
Cakes and Ale is both a wickedly satirical novel about contemporary literary poseurs and a skilfully crafted study of freedom. As he traces the fortunes of Edward Driffield and his extraordinary wife Rosie, one of the most delightful heroines of twentieth-century literature, Maugham's sardonic wit and lyrical warmth expertly combine in this accomplished and unforgettable novel.
