VINTAGE CLASSICS : CAKES AND ALE PB B FORMAT – W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM-NICHOLAS SHAKESPEARE

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.
