In 1921 Penang, when "Willie" Somerset Maugham a famed writer and old friend of her husband's, arrives for an extended stay, Lesley, as her friendship with Willie grows, makes a dangerous decision to confide in him about life in the Straits Settlement of Penang, including her relationship with a charismatic Chinese revolutionary-a confession that has devastating consequences.
