Acerca de esta escucha

Of all Somerset Maugham’s novels this is the most entertaining and arguably his best ever. Rosie is a barmaid with a heart of gold and a skeleton in her closet. Maugham’s portrait of her makes his novel fairly glow with witty observations of the contemporary literary scene. Features Willie Ashenden, who resurfaces in Maugham’s Ashenden.

I loved the introduction. The sweep of the story, and the protagonist. Excellent characters and development

Slow start with a weak end… perhaps I am missing, or perhaps I need to know about the Author before going in…?

Huh?

I was surprised to find this famous novel so boring! When I was young, I liked Somerset Maugham's stories set in the East, though they were pretty predictable: Upper class Brits without a clue. This book is obviously autobiographical and the author is coy about it. But, my big complaint is the huge numbers of cliches he uses. It's just amazing! Also infuriating! He also slows down the story with asides about Art and Beauty and Literature.
