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. But then Kear discovers the great novelist' s voluptuous muse (and unlikely first wife), Rosie. 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. Cakes and Ale is a delicious satire of London literary society between the Wars.
His sarcasm is administered to perfection that his objects have no way to complain about being laughed at. The narrative is well-controlled and the story told smoothly one could see Maugham has all the materials at his finger tips. Definitely one of Maugham's best in every way.
