Query: Great Classic Novel

I have not yet seen the movie, but I think Somerset Maugham deserves his place as one of the great authors of the last century. The story is inviting but not overwhelming and the author's sparse prose evoke just the right emotion of each scene. This book also has some important things to say about life and how we live it. This is an emotionally satisfying and heartfelt novel. Among the best 10 novels I've ever read.
