Description
First published thirty years after its initial rejection, W. Somerset Maugham's Mrs Craddock is a tale of love, disillusionment and the constraints of societal expectations.
The story follows Bertha Ley as she navigates her new life after inheriting her father's wealth and marrying a man who seems to embody all that she thought she wanted in a partner. However, as she settles into her role as a dutiful wife, Bertha finds herself increasingly bored by the conventions of her life and the love she once felt for her husband begins to slip away.
Originally published with certain passages removed, Mrs Craddock is now available in its full form, offering a nuanced exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of living a life that does not entirely align with one's desires.
