This is another paragraph Product Description : The voice on the other end of the phone was severe. It's your grandmother. Yes? She's been arrested. ' Nick Robertson has become used to his grandmother Rosie's dotty behaviour. At 86, a widow now, she is determined that before life passes her by, she will live a little. Or, preferably, a lot. It wouldn't be so bad if Nick had nothing else to do, but with a job to find, two warring parents to cope with and a love life in terminal decline, he would prefer his grandmother to get on with things quietly. But, Rosie insists, there is no time like the present. Life is to be enjoyed to the full and to hell with the consequences. She'll help Nick find the soulmate he clearly lacks and he can help her make the most of her few remaining years. Alan Titchmarsh's sparkling new novel is a delicious blend of humour and romance, and a resounding affirmation that there is no such thing as the generation gap., Simon & Schuster, 5, Bonnier Fiction, 2020.

He was an instinctive and magnificent storyteller, with a talent also for success. "Of Human Bondage" was his masterpiece; "The Razor's Edge" his most spectacular best-seller. He lived nearly ninety-two years, wrote seventy-eight books (forty million sold worldwide) and once had four plays running in London simultaneously. "Rain," reflecting his fascination with the South Seas, is among the most widely read stories of our time. In World War I, he performed expertly and courageously as ambulance driver and as secret agent in Samoa and Russia. Eventually he knew "everybody": Britain's, Hollywood's and literature's royalty. He was seen as formidable, a cynic and the very emblem of worldliness. He wrote constantly about social and sexual entanglements but, in a closeted age, was increasingly secretive about his own-loving men, wanting to love women. To the extraordinary life of Somerset Maugham and his development as a writer, Jeffrey Meyers brings all his gifts as biographer: of Hemingway ("simply the best book there is on Hemingway" -J. F. Powers), of Orwell ("moving and edifying" -Paul Theroux) and of D. H. Lawrence ("probably the best biography of him" -"Times Literary Supplement"). Telling Maugham's story, from his sad, orphaned childhood in the small English coastal town of Whitstable, through his Paris years and his wandering years, to his luxurious, indeed glamorous, old age at the Villa Mauresque on Cap Ferrat, Meyers reveals much that is new-about Maugham's days at Heidelberg and on Capri, his medical training, his wartime espionage, his quarrels with D. H. Lawrence and Edmund Wilson, his friendship with Noel Coward, and about his longtime lover, Gerald Haxton. He writes of Maugham's encounters with Winston Churchill, E. M. Forster, the Sitwells, T. S. Eliot, Bernard Berenson and the Windsors; of his affairs with four attractive and accomplished women; of his torturous ten-year marriage to one of them-Syrie, who became a celebrated decorator-and his wish to marry the actress Sue Jones, gentle, loving and promiscuous, who was his model for Rosie Driffield in "Cakes and Ale. " Meyers describes Joseph Conrad's influence on Maugham and Maugham's on George Orwell and V. S. Naipaul. He provides a fascinating portrait of a brilliant and complex man whose talent has held and dazzled a cultivated audience from the late Victorian era to the twenty-first century.
