The Painted Veil

Set in England and Hong Kong in the 1920s, The Painted Veil tells the story of the beautiful yet 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 both the British society of her youth and the small but effective social circle she fought so hard to attain in Hong Kong, she faces a profound personal reckoning.

Compelled by her awakening conscience, Kitty must 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.
