FTA:"The female character in Of Human Bondage was actually based on a feckless young man who humiliated the author all over Paris and London, breaking what there was of Maugham's heart."
Trust the Daily Mail to turn it into something nasty. It is the lowest form of scum.

Wishful thinking and nonsense with no basis in actual fact.
Like a finger pointing to the moon don't focus on the finger or you'll miss all the heavenly glory!
And what if it's true? This is a work of fiction, and obviously, no one would have published that book in 1915. As it is, Maugham does sneak in plenty of homoerotic subtext.
