Format:Paperback
I loved this book. Maugham gives us a portrait of a marriage between a passionate woman and a dull and dutyful man, starting from the moment he proposes to her. Bertha Craddock easily becomes one of the great females in his books or plays. She is certainly one of the earliest ones. Maugham usually bittersweet taste is the resposability of Bertha's aunt, who dissects that marriage with a clinical eye. A must read.
Format:Paperback
This is one of Maugham's finest books, and easily the best novel he wrote before "Of Human Bondage".
Highly recommended. Bertha is a character one feels for. Maugham is one of my favorite writers.

Definitely not a Maugham classic, I would only recommend it as one of the better early works and for the references to it in his later books. Read it if you're a Maugham fan already, but don't bother otherwise, as it may put you off reading Maugham's better later work.
