Set in the early 20th century, the novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and self-discovery through the life of Kitty, a young woman trapped in a loveless marriage. When her husband, a doctor, takes her to a cholera-infested region of China, she confronts her own choices and the consequences of her actions. The narrative delves into the complexities of human relationships and the search for meaning in a tumultuous world, reflecting on the illusions that shape one's perception of life.
