Getting Lost
Experience the Complex Depths of Getting Lost
Discover the world of Willie Somerset Maugham, an iconic figure in early twentieth-century literature, in Getting Lost. This remarkable novel, longlisted for the Booker Prize 2023 and the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, weaves an intricate tale of struggle, revelation, and the pursuit of authenticity.
Set in 1921, Maugham confronts the turmoil of his life: an unhappy marriage, deteriorating health, and mismanaged business ventures. A writing block threatens to consume him until a lifeline surfaces through his friend Robert Hamlyn. Together, they journey to the enchanting Straits Settlements of Penang, where Maugham’s hopes for escape take shape.
As the narrative unfolds, meet Lesley, Robert’s resilient wife, who begins to see past Maugham’s façade. In her, he finds a kindred spirit, and in her confidences, he discovers secrets that redefine their connections. Lesley's past encounters with the compelling revolutionary Dr. Sun Yat Sen reveal layers of intrigue, while her ties to a real-life Englishwoman embroiled in a murder trial reveal the thin line between fact and fiction.
Getting Lost is not just a novel; it's a journey into the heart of a man wrestling with his identity, the weight of his circumstances, and the complexity of human relationships. Perfect for fans of historical fiction, this Sunday Times bestseller promises a gripping reading experience that echoes through time.
Join Maugham on his quest, and allow the richly woven narrative to captivate your imagination and encourage deep reflection on the masks we wear.
