Mrs. Craddock

Front Cover
Penguin, 1994 - Fiction - 255 pages
"Edward is a throughly good man. He may lack his wife Bertha's education, but he is unfailingly good-humored, handsome, placid, and popular with everyone. It is hardly surprising that his wife adores him. But expending all one's passion, all one's spirit, on a man who is so undemonstrative can be very trying, as Bertha soon discovers." -- BACK COVER.

About the author (1994)

A prolific writer, Maugham produced novels, short stories, plays, and an autobiographical novel, "Of Human Bondage."
