Description

In this collection Maugham writes about three very different people in English settings. In "Creative Impulse," Mrs. Albert Forrester is a writer. She is also a cold and selfish woman. When her way of life changes, Mrs. Forrester discovers the creative impulse for her next successful book. "The Round Dozen" is set in a seaside town. Maugham watches how a strange, quiet man achieves his lifetime ambition. "Jane," the title and protagonist of the last story, is a plain, middle-aged woman. Her quiet life changes when she meets a poor and handsome young man.
