Synopsis
Cakes and Ale is a delicious satire of London literary society between the Wars. Social climber Alroy Kear is flattered when he is selected by Edward Driffield's wife to pen the official biography of her lionized novelist husband, and determined to write a bestseller. But then Kear discovers the great novelist's voluptuous muse (and unlikely first wife), Rosie. The lively, loving heroine once gave Driffield enough material to last a lifetime, but now her memory casts an embarrissing shadow over his career and respectable image. Wise, witty, deeply satisfying, Cakes and Ale is Maugham at his best.

    Great seller, would buy from again. The shipping was fast and communication was easy. Books are in excellent condition - they look just like the photos and are in great shape. I did a fair amount of looking around before picking this seller so I know the value was good. Overall I'm very satisfied with these additions to my collection and am looking forward to finding some new patterns to knit up! Thank you!

    Good book

    Its an interesting book. Its hard to get into because it was written long ago. The theme is compelling. I am enjoying it, but it is not a "quick read" type of book.
