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.]]> 6794 3.97 18764 2283 4 0 false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 13 10:07:38 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 19 12:37:55 -0700 2008
