SynopsisSet in England and Hong Kong in the 1920s, The Painted Veil is the story of the beautiful but love-starved Kitty Fane. When her husband discovers her adulterous affair, he forces her to accompany him to the heart of a cholera epidemic. Stripped of the British society of her youth and the small but effective society she fought so hard to attain in Hong Kong, she is compelled by her awakening conscience to reassess her life and learn how to love. The Painted Veil is a beautifully written affirmation of the human capacity to grow, to change, and to forgive., Set in England and Hong Kong in the 1920s, "The Painted Veil" is the story of the beautiful but love-starved Kitty Fane. When her husband discovers her adulterous affair, he forces her to accompany him to the heart of a cholera epidemic, where she is compelled by her awakening conscience to reassess her life and to learn how to love.

Maugham @ his finest. Excellent introduction to his novels.
Maugham's character development is outstanding. Excellent story written simply with at times almost Hemingway short prose concept but not style. I've read most of Maugham's works and this was a pleasure to read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
