Lord Mountdrago
by
by
“He knew by now that men were liars, he knew how extravagant was their vanity; he knew far worse than that about them; but he knew that it was not for him to judge or to condemn. But year by year as these terrible confidences were imparted to him his face grew a little greyer, its lines a little more marked and his pale eyes more weary.�
A superb psychological tale.
Dr. Audlin has been treating mental health issues ever since he had success with traumatized men during the war. He is patient, persistent, and surprised by his successes. His patient Lord Mountdrago is a cruel snob whose conscience has started to bother him. The story explores the blending of our subconscious world, the world we share with others, and the supernatural.
I adore Maugham. He’s yet to disappoint me.

Thanks, Lea! I think you'll like this one.
That's good to know because I haven't got round to reading his books. Excellent review Kathleen and love the quote 💖
I really enjoyed this too, but came from a history of thinking I wasn't very keen on Maugham. Time to reappraise.

That's a great quote, Kathleen. Wonderful review. I've added this one to my list.
