Requirements: .ePUB reader, 233 KB
Overview: Cakes and Ale: Or, The Skeleton in the Cupboard is a delicious satire of London literary society between the Wars. Social climber Alroy Kear (based on British author Hugh Walpole) is flattered when he is selected by the wife of Edward Driffield (based on Thomas Hardy) 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 embarrassing shadow over his career and respectable image. Wise, witty, deeply satisfying, Cakes and Ale is Somerset Maugham at his best.
