About This Novel
Kitty, a beautiful but vain British woman, and Walter, a withdrawn bacteriologist, are a couple who don't know each other well but get married in a hurry. After learning that Kitty was cheating on Hong Kong Assistant Chief Secretary Charlie Townsend, Walter did not report it on the spot, which triggered a series of butterfly effects. In order to retaliate, Walter took Kitty deep into Meitan Prefecture, an epidemic area in mainland China, and lost his life. Kitty saw her lover's hypocrisy, her own vulgarity, and her husband's affection. She hoped to be forgiven, but she only received Walter's words before his death, "It was the dog that died." On the way back to London, Kitty was hit by the death of her mother, and finally decided to leave London with her father and start a new life.
