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.
