It is not very pleasant to realize that to you it was only an episode.\" -Kitty, The Painted Veil (1925) by Somerset Maugham The Painted Veil (1925) by Somerset Maugham is a romance set in England and Hong Kong. The title refers to the first line of a sonnet written by Percy Bysshe Shelley: \"Lift not the painted veil which those who live \/ Call Life.\" The author delves deep into the psyche of a mismatched married couple, Kitty and Walter, dealing with affairs and adultery. After Kitty's affair is discovered, Walter gives her the ultimatum of accompanying him to cholera-stricken mainland China or enduring a publicly humiliating divorce. This is just a glimpse of a page-turning novel filled with human conflict that any reader will want to add to their personal library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 308\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 08, 1905\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44378664534118,"sku":"9781646797011","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/iHt83vOmfS9781646797011.webp?v=1768907549","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-painted-veil-paperback-2","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
