About this book

"The Painted Veil" by W. Somerset Maugham is a novel published in 1925. When a frivolous young woman enters a loveless marriage and begins an affair in Hong Kong, her betrayed husband presents her with a devastating choice: accompany him to a cholera-ravaged village in mainland China or face public divorce. Forced into a dangerous epidemic zone, she embarks on an unexpected journey of self-discovery among French nuns and suffering villagers, confronting her own shallow nature and witnessing her husband's hidden depths.
