It is of great practical value and has a profound portrayal of emotions.
This is the worst of Maugham's works.
This book is well written, the love is too real and the hurt is too deep. You can't love too much.
You can't love too truly, too tightly, or too greedily
It's a classic work, but it's hard to get into it.
Good! ! ! ! !
