Cakes and Ale

Cakes and Ale

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&#39;s sardonic wit and lyrical warmth expertly combine in this accomplished and unforgettable novel.<br />
