description: 'Liza of Lambeth' is Maugham's first novel, and such is its power that it remains as vital today as when first written. Liza is a warm-hearted young girl, stifled by life in a London tenement. Liza has been bred to it and externally can cope. But the heart is the problem: it craves love and affection. "A fine book...shows all the promise of the author's later stories." (Editorial Reviews)
