Critic Reviews
"An expert craftsman....His style is sharp, quick, subdued, casual."( The 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." ( Spectator)

Classic literature
I found it really interesting to see how authors like Somerset Maugham writes during his period of history. Very revealing on how our society functioned then. Quite different attitudes to many we have now particularly on the class differences, treatment of women and how society operated without contemporary technology.

Beautiful and brillant
Loved this book. Fabulous characters, each so distinct. Exotic settings that i can picture vividly thanks to the amazing writing. The journey and inner growth of the main character was heartbreaking and inspiring.

Beautiful
A beautiful and emotional story showing life and love in a different time. Life changes, society changes, but not so human nature.
Thoroughly enjoyed this novel and the narration was superb.
