From the Nobel Prize–winning author of The Good Earth: The “moving
story” of a peasant woman in pre-revolutionary China who is
abandoned by her husband (Kirkus Reviews). Dickensian in its epic
sweep, one of Buck’s finest novels centers on an unnamed peasant
woman in pre-revolutionary China. Without warning, her restless
husband abandons her. Shamed by the experience, she is left to work
the land, raise their three children on her own, and care for her
aging mother-in-law. To save face with her neighbors, she pretends her
husband is traveling, and sends letters to herself signed in his name.
Surrounded by poverty, despair, and a growing web of lies meant to
protect the family, her children grow up and enter society with only
the support of their mother’s unbreakable will. An unforgettable
story of one woman’s strength and a remarkable fable about the role
of mothers, this novel is a powerful achievement by a master of
twentieth-century fiction. This ebook features an illustrated
biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s
estate.
