Jyoti –
A powerful and moving story. Maugham’s portrayal of Liza’s life is both realistic and touching. Highly recommended.
Amritashree Sivakumaran –
A bit depressing, but a well-written and insightful book. Liza is a memorable character, even if her fate is tragic. I liked it.
Arpita Tripathi –
Amazing debut novel. Maugham’s ability to portray the life of someone during that time is amazing. It is a MUST read!
Pragya Singh –
I had high expectations, but it was only ok. It was not bad, but I didn’t think it was as good as people say it is.
Adhyatma Jain –
A compelling story. Maugham writing at his best! This story is great. Some slow moments, but still worth it!
Nikita Chauhan –
Maugham’s debut is a raw depiction of poverty. Liza’s choices are heartbreaking, though the ending felt somewhat abrupt. Worth reading for its historical context.
Adarsh Sahu –
Maugham captures the atmosphere of Lambeth perfectly. The plot is predictable, but the characters are well-developed. Worth the time.
Damanpreet Singh –
Good book! Showed the struggle of that era! Some parts are slightly boring, but I understand its importance to build the era.
S Muhammed Ameen –
Enjoyed the vivid descriptions of Lambeth. Liza is a sympathetic character, but the plot meandered at times. A solid, if not spectacular, novel.
Mohammad Aves Khan –
A decent read, offering a glimpse into Victorian London’s underbelly. Liza’s story is compelling, but the writing style felt a bit dated for my taste.
Sumit Lohani –
Liza’s story resonated with me. Maugham’s writing is evocative, but the book could have been a bit shorter. Still, a good book.
Shreshtha Roy –
Interesting look at working-class life in Victorian London. Found some parts slow. Overall, a worthwhile read for those interested in the era.
Akshat Jain –
I found Liza to be very relatable even though I grew up during a different time. Overall a good read!
Vansh Mahajan –
The descriptions that Maugham uses paints an extremely vivid picture. I felt like I was actually there! Amazing read!
Tanvi Tyagi –
Found the themes of poverty and societal pressure very relevant. Some of the dialogue felt stilted, but the story’s impact is undeniable.
Kapil Yadav –
I was completely absorbed in Liza’s world. Maugham’s writing is masterful. A classic for a reason. I loved it.
Danish Shafi –
I have very mixed feelings! There was some part I liked, but also some parts I hated. The ending kind of ruined it for me!
Sweta Yadav –
A good read that highlights poverty. It highlights the class struggle between the rich and the poor. I would read it again!
