With a journey before him, Charley Mason’s mother was anxious that he should make a good breakfast, but he was too excited to eat. It was Christmas Eve and he was going to Paris.
This morning, I found this book in one of my bookcases (yes, I was ‘playing’ with my books again), but couldn’t resist sharing the festive quote of the opening lines with you. Somehow, I feel that that Charley will find the dark underbelly of the City of Light in Maugham’s 1939 novel. I hope to read on and find out.
Meanwhile, let me wish you all A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Love this cover!
A very merry Christmas to you.
Thanks Mystica – A very happy Christmas to you too. This cover is actually nicer than the one I have, but I’m looking forward to reading the book anyway.

A Happy Christmas to you, and best wishes for the year ahead.
Merry Christmas to you too Annabel!
I have this book in a set I bought from The Book People – maybe it’s time to break it out!
I saw that set too, but then I realised I had over half of them already. Merry Christmas!
I hope you have a happy Christmas
