Somerset (William Somerset) 1874 1965 Maugham, William Somerset Maugham, Somerset Liza of Lambeth Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liza_of_Lambeth Produced by Mark C. Orton, Sankar Viswanathan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Liza of Lambeth" by W. Somerset Maugham is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the working-class neighborhood of Lambeth, centered around the life of Liza Kemp, a spirited young woman who navigates the complexities of love and social expectations. Through Liza's experiences, the narrative explores themes of desire, personal autonomy, and the stark realities of life in a vibrant yet harsh urban environment. The opening of the novel paints a lively picture of a hot Saturday afternoon in Vere Street, where the community comes alive with children playing and adults mingling outside their homes. Liza's presence immediately captures attention as she struts past in her new, eye-catching dress, reveling in the attention it brings her. Amidst the fun and flirtation, we glimpse her complicated relationships, particularly with her well-meaning but ultimately unworthy suitor Tom, and a new face in the street, Jim Blakeston, a married man who stirs Liza's curiosity and desire. The dialogue effectively conveys the bustling life of the street while also foreshadowing the tumultuous path Liza's choices will lead her down, setting the stage for her emotional journey throughout the novel.
