The Painted Veil - W. Somerset Maugham - 2007 By: W. Somerset Maugham Narrated by: Kate Reading Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 02-02-07 Categories: Literature & Fiction, Classics Language: English Publisher: Blackstone Audio Inc. Format: mp3 64/48 stereo Publisher's Summary: First published in 1925, The Painted Veil is an affirmation of the human capacity to grow, change, and forgive. Set in England and Hong Kong in the 1920s, it is the story of the beautiful but shallow young Kitty Fane. When her husband discovers her adulterous affair, he forces her to accompany him to a remote region of China ravaged by a cholera epidemic. Stripped of the British society of her youth and overwhelmed by the desolation around her, she is compelled by her awakening conscience to reassess her life. She takes up work with children at a convent, but when her husband dies, she is forced to return to England to her father, her one remaining relative, to raise her unborn child. Though too late for her marriage, she has learned humility, independence, and how to love. ©1925 W. Somerset Maugham (P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc. Critic reviews Audie Award Finalist, Classic, 2007 "[Maugham is] the modern writer who has influenced me the most." (George Orwell) "An expert craftsman....His style is sharp, quick, subdued, casual."(New York Times) "The Painted Veil, with its sadness, its moral tension, its irony and compassion, its building evocations of lust and terror and remorse, is a work of art."
