This is the cover of the book I finished last night.
Up At The Villa by W. Somerset Maugham (the same author who wrote
Of Human Bondage that I raved about). Gotta love the movie covers. And I can see why it would make a good movie (oh, you've never heard of the movie? And no I'm not going to watch the movie). The book reads like a soap opera. The protagonist is a beautiful woman is who is widowed (her marriage was rocky, but she married for love) and finds herself with other marriage proposals. One from a handsome-wealthy-tons-of-status man who has known her throughout her childhood (think Celine Dion) and another who just the opposite, but he still has the money (duh). Well, after a crazy night (not sure if I should tell you guys what happens in case you chose to read/watch), she is left in anguish but chooses to the truth over everything, bring the perfect women that she is. The moral of the story? You can have the most perfect man throwing himself at you, but if you don't love the dude, it doesn't really matter does it? And don't have sex with crazies.
