Interesting for a look at Maugham's later writings.
4 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
A strange little book and, I believe, Maugham's last novel. Religious overtones make this story interesting enough, but 3/4's of the way through, the story seems to take a polar shift as if written by a completely different writer! It ultimately disappoints and remains interesting only to diehard or curious fans of Maugham.
Lovely

Format:Paperback
This is a lovely story! It's earthy and matter-of-fact in Maugham's unique style. I liked it especially because it's a slap in the face to overt religious self-sanctification. Catalina ... you go girl!
A good read
27 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
An interesting book, based on 16th century Spain. Maugham skillfully combines fact and fiction, transporting the reader to a time long ago when burnings at the stake were a commonplace occurence. Catalina is a beautiful girl, crippled by an accident. Forsaken by her lover, she is desolate - when her prayers are literally answered by the appearance of Virgin Mary, bearing a cryptic message which ultimately leads to a miracle cure. From a poor nobody, Catalina becomes an overnight celebrity. What happens then is the rest of the story.
