HH 80th anniversary recommendation: 'The Razor's Edge'

28 December, 2016
Author: Somerset Maugham
Genre: Fiction
Category: Literary Happenings

In 2016, Heywood Hill celebrated its 80th anniversary. In honour of the occasion, distinguished authors were asked to share the single book - published in English in the last 80 years - that has meant the most to them and to provide a three-word justification for their choice. 

The wonderful Leonie Frieda chose 'The Razor's Edge' by Somerset Maugham:

 ‘Hope and realisation’ 

This idea was inspired by our popular literary subscription service 'A Year in Books'. Find out more here
