The House of Doors by Tan Twan Eng

In 1921, a complex web of relationships and secrets unfolds at Cassowary House on the Straits Settlement of Penang. When renowned writer Willie Somerset Maugham arrives for an extended visit, his presence threatens to disrupt the lives of those around him. Maugham, struggling with his own demons, is desperate for a subject for his next book, while his friend's marriage appears to be hiding more than one truth.

As their friendship deepens, Maugham discovers a far more surprising tale than he imagined, one that involves war, scandal, and the trial of an Englishwoman charged with murder. This gripping story is one that Maugham believes is worthy of fiction.
