<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Cakes and Ale</b> 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, <b>Cakes and Ale</b> is Maugham at his best.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Maugham] is a master for creating the appetite for information, of withholding it until the right moment, and then providing it surprisingly." --Evelyn Waugh <p/>"Maugham is a catty delight." --<i>The Boston Globe</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>W.
