A deadly epidemic. A bitter betrayal. A dangerous path to redemption. When lovely but shallow Kitty Garstin rushes into a loveless marriage with Walter Fane, a reserved bacteriologist stationed in 1920s Hong Kong, she expects an escape from her overbearing mother. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a world of social boredom and cold detachment. Seeking passion, Kitty plunges into a reckless affair with a charming, high-ranking official. But when her husband uncovers her infidelity, he devises a terrifying ultimatum: accompany him into the heart of a deadly, cholera-stricken Chinese village, or face public ruin and total disgrace. Forced on a harrowing journey into the unknown, Kitty must navigate betrayal, mortality, and the raw power of self-discovery. Will a devastating tragedy break her spirit - or reveal a strength she never knew she possessed? Step into the heart of rural China with W. Somerset Maugham’s evocative classic and unravel the dark secrets of "The Painted Veil". 20th Century Genre Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Psychological
