The review of this Book prepared by Jonathan Harris
This novel by W. Somerset Maugham is a detailed account of a young Englishman named Philip Carey, and his search for meaning in his life. The author gives painful detail to Philip's accomplishments and failures, and shows the reader what Philip's destiny really should be--and it's not being an artist. Beautifully written and absorbing.

It's a very good book about a club-foot kid.
