面纱 – The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham

《面纱》讲述了:容貌娇美而又爱慕虚荣的英国女子凯蒂,为了避免自己变成一位老姑娘,接受了生性孤僻的医生瓦尔特·费恩的求婚。她离开了上世纪20年代伦敦浮华而空虚的社交圈,随瓦尔特远赴神秘的东方殖民地——香港。

对婚姻感到不满和无趣,凯蒂开始悄悄与令她芳心摇动的香港助理布政司查理·唐生偷情。瓦尔特发现妻子的不忠后,孤注一掷,开始了他奇特而可怕的报复计划:凯蒂必须随他前往遥远的中国内地,去平息一场正疯狂流

行的霍乱瘟疫。在异国美丽却凶险的环境中,他们经历了在英国家乡的舒适

生活中无法想象和体验的情感波澜……在爱情、背叛与死亡的漩涡中挣扎的凯蒂,亲历了幻想破灭与生死离别之后,终将生活的面纱从她的眼前渐渐揭去,从此踏上了不悔的精神成长之路。

Set in England and Hong Kong in the 1920s, The Painted Veil is the story of the beautiful, but 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 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.
