"[Maugham is] the modern writer who has influenced me the most." (George Orwell)
"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)

Wonderful Narrator!
The narrator is so good with conveying emotions of the characters especially of the protagonist, Kitty Fane. The story, however, isn't as engaging as I expected it to be. The book's narrative is slow placed which I don't mind, the writing style is beautiful and the characters are multidimensional but the ending is unsatisfactory! Overall it was a good read, just not the best.
