The Painted Veil

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.

Dar cand Walter descopera inselaciunea ei, el isi cere o razbunare stranie si teribila: Kitty trebuie sa-l insoteasca la noua sa destinatie in indepartata China continentala, unde o epidemie de holera face ravagii... Publicata pentru prima data in mijlocul unui val de proteste, Valul pictat este o poveste clasica despre trezirea spirituala a unei femei.
