Times
Kitty Fane is the beautiful but shallow wife of Walter, a bacteriologist
stationed in Hong Kong. Unsatisfied by her marriage, she starts an affair with
charming, attractive and exciting Charles Townsend. But when Walter discovers
her deception, he exacts a strange and terrible vengeance: Kitty must accompany
him to his new posting in remote mainland China, where a cholera epidemic
rages...
First published to a storm of protest, The Painted Veil is a classic story of a
woman's spiritual awakening.
