Kitty Fane is lovely but shallow, and when her bacteriologist husband discovers her adulterous affair, he forces her to accompany him to the heart of a cholera epidemic hoping that she will die. Bitterly unhappy, Kitty is compelled both by the desolation around her and by her awakening conscience to re-assess her life, past and present. Slowly and painfully she learns how to love; tragically, she learns too late.

REVIEW
What a sad story. It was hard for me to even get through this book and it was brief. This is one of those where I saw the movie first (a couple of years ago when it came out) and now read the book. It was interesting, but very sad.
