Somerset Maugham, as seen through the eyes of his nephew, Robin Maugham. Drawing on personal recollections and family history, the narrative presents an intimate portrait of the elder Maugham — his brilliance, his sharp wit, his complicated personal life, and the contradictions that defined him. Robin Maugham also traces the broader Maugham family lineage, uncovering a rich tapestry of characters whose lives intersect with the social and cultural history of Britain. Written with warmth and honesty, the account balances admiration with unflinching candor, offering readers both a biography of a literary giant and a reflection on the bonds and tensions of family legacy.
