Beschreibung
When young, beautiful Kitty Garstin finds herself in a bind after turning down too many suitors for too many years, she marries Walter Fane unthinkingly, without love. They move to a British outpost in China where he works as a doctor; there, bored and lonely, she strays into a two-year affair that is eventually discovered. Rather than divorcing her, Walter decides they will both travel to a cholera-stricken town for his work. The discoveries Kitty makes and the challenges she faces in this deadly place change her world and open her eyes to the terrifying and beautiful reality of life.

Über den Autor
William Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965) was a British playwright, novelist and short story writer. He was among the most popular writers of his era and reputedly the highest paid author during the 1930s. After losing both his parents by the age of 10, Maugham was raised by a paternal uncle who was emotionally cold. Not wanting to become a lawyer like other men in his family, Maugham eventually trained and qualified as a physician. The initial run of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth (1897), sold out so rapidly that Maugham gave up medicine to write full-time. During the First World War, he served with the Red Cross and in the ambulance corps, before being recruited in 1916 into the British Secret Intelligence Service, for which he worked in Switzerland and Russia before the October Revolution of 1917. During and after the war, he travelled in India and Southeast Asia; all of these experiences were reflected in later short stories and novels.
