This book chronicles the narrative of five years that alter a man, and when those five years are spent fighting the Boers in the bush, the changes are huge. So when Jamie Parson returned home with captain's pips and the Victoria Cross, he wasn't the same boy he used to be. However, his parents and Mary, his sweetheart, wished him well. Jamie couldn't, and he momentarily ended his relationship with Mary. Happiness is enigmatic, unreal like the Boers, and Jamie finds moral battle to be as rigorous as military service. William Somerset Maugham was a dramatist, novelist, and short story writer from England. He was one of the most popular writers of his day and was rumored to be the highest-paid writer in the 1930s.
