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. 《面纱》以 1920 年代的英国和香港为背景，讲述了美丽但渴望爱情的基蒂·费恩的故事。当她的丈夫发现她的通奸行为时，他强迫她陪他去霍乱流行的中心。她失去了年轻时的英国社会和她在香港努力争取的微小但有效的社会，她被觉醒的良知所驱使，重新审视自己的生活并学习如何去爱。 《面纱》是对人类成长、改变和宽恕能力的精美肯定。
