VINTAGE CLASSICS : VINTAGE CLASSICS THE NARROW CORNER – W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

On his way home from a remote Pacific island, Dr Saunders travels with two strangers: the treacherous Captain Nichols, and Fred, a handsome Australian with a shadowy past. Driven to shelter from a storm on the island of Kanda, the trio meet good-natured Erik Christessen and his fiancee, the cool and beautiful Louise. A tense, exotic tale of love, jealousy, murder and suicide, which evolved from a passage in Maugham s earlier masterpiece, The Moon and Sixpence.
