Her marital and life troubles mount, and Mrs. Craddock turns her attention to a much younger man. Deemed too risqué for the time, Maugham had difficulty finding a publisher until he agreed to remove the passages which readers would find offensive. A timeless novel of a woman's plight in a loveless marriage, this is a great edition to any reader's personal library.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50389686714642,"sku":"9781646796212","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_02feea4f-d4f3-4f57-a2ad-d74bf5e3dec6.jpg?v=1728927212","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/mrs-craddock-9781646796212","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
