Cakes and ale
W. Somerset Maugham (Author)
Presents the satiric novel that many claim as their favorite among Maugham's works, its the story of London literary society during the Interwar period about the misguided social snobbery levelled at the character Rosie Driffield, whose frankness, honesty, and sexual freedom make her a target of conservative opprobrium. Her character is treated favourably by the book's narrator, Ashenden, who understands that she was a muse to the many artists who surrounded her, and who himself enjoyed her sexual favours
