Historical Fiction is a new genre for me, and I’m loving it. I learned so much about Somerset Maugham as a writer, Sun Yat-sen (revolutionist) Ethel Proudlock (based on her murder conviction) and society in Malaysia in the early 20s. Well crafted book. One criticism is the slow start. I listened to the audio version and nearly gave up. At 20% in, it finally picked up.

My introduction to this author. Wonderful book, he weaves in Sumerset Maugham seamlessly. What I really enjoyed was the story of the marriage as well as how love can wait when you have obligations in life
