A deeply interesting novel that is too often forgotten by Maugham fans.
A great treat.
I think Mr Crowley was more sinister than summerset ☀️ might have known 😮
Based on what evidence?
I’m very pleased to see there is a part 2
14.00 is start of the story. The introduction is too long.
Read it years ago but hadn't heard of crowley back then , guess my age lol 😉
Crowley was lived from 1875 to 1947. He wasn't famous in all circles. I guess a modern counterpart insofar as fame goes might be Marianne Williamson. She is nice & he was not, but I refer to renown, not to ethics. Not everyone has heard of her either, but in some circles she's well-known.
I guess you're in your 70s, based on Crowley being extremely well known from the 1960s onwards ...
I'm 78. Crowley didn't enter my world until the internet became ubiquitous.
