Mrs Craddock by W. Somerset MaughamMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Not my favorite Maugham novel, but still a very enjoyable read. Maugham is amazing with this novel, in that he makes Bertha Craddock both despicable and pitiable. Edward never really changes throughout the novel. He's the same goofy oaf from beginning to end. But the reader's conception of him changes as Bertha becomes more and more sympathetic through the novel. It's really kind of genius on Maugham's part. But the story itself...so-so.
