CAKES AND ALE

By Somerset Maugham

Synopsis

'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 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.
