The Narrow Corner
by W. Somerset Maugham
An island hoping for the South Pacific, the respected Dr. Saunders, Captain Nichols and his friend Fred Blake were offered a pass by two men who looked heartbreaking but had a hard time resisting any means of transportation. However, the journey becomes stormy when a vicious storm forces them to take refuge on the remote island of Kanda. There, these three men fall under the spell of the suffocating and surprisingly beautiful Louise, and their story becomes a tale of evil love, murder, jealousy, and suicide.\n\nMaugham's earlier masterpiece is a tense, exotic story of love, jealousy, murder, and suicide that develops from a passage in The Moon and the Sixties.
