W. Somerset Maugham was born in Paris in 1874. He began to study medicine in London but quit to focus exclusively on writing. In 1926 he bought a house in Cap Ferrat, France, which was to become a meeting place for a number of writers, artists and politicians. He died in 1965.
Set in a villa in the hills above Florence, this moving novel reveals the power of desperate love. Mary Panton ignores her desires as she contemplates her loveless marriage, but a single act of compassion begins a nightmare of violence that destroys her serenity.
宣传说这是毛姆最成熟的短篇小说,我是一气儿读完的,这本书直接印证了毛姆多次提到他酷爱侦探小说。 如果你知道毛姆爱侦探小说,你再读这本书,就不太会把毛姆放在神的位置,这一切不是无来由,而是完全有迹可循。 还是美女和一开始看完全不可能的恶棍似人物在一起的故事,...

'Darling, that's what life's for--to take risks.'
评分Superb... (Why not just enjoy life when you can, and take the ‘awful’ risk.
评分有屍體,有棄屍,可以改編成推理小說。ONS要慎重選擇對象。
