The Painted Veil by William Somerset Maugham

The Painted Veil by William Somerset Maugham

Kitty marries a dull bacteriologist mostly to escape her mother's pressure and quickly begins an affair, and when her husband discovers it, he punishes her in an unusual way: taking her with him to a remote Chinese village ravaged by a cholera epidemic, where he has volunteered to help contain the outbreak.

Maugham uses the epidemic's stark confrontation with mortality to force Kitty's genuine moral and emotional growth, watching her transform from a shallow, self-absorbed young woman into someone capable of real compassion, in a novel whose quiet devastation has made it one of his most enduring works.

One of Maugham's most acclaimed novels, adapted multiple times for film.
