In the 1930s, as her second marriage approaches, a brilliant and
independent sculptor faces tensions between her art and everyday life
in this novel by the author of The Good Earth. This Proud Heart
narrates the experience of a gifted sculptor and her struggle to
reconcile her absorbing career with society’s domestic expectations.
Susan Gaylord is talented, loving, equipped with a strong moral sense,
and adept at anything she puts her hand to, from housework to playing
the piano to working with marble and clay. But the intensity of her
artistic calling comes at a price, isolating her from other
people—at times, even from her own family. When her husband dies and
she remarries, she finds herself once again comparing the sacrifice of
solitude to that of commitment. With a heroine who is naturalistic yet
compellingly larger than life, This Proud Heart is incomparable in its
sympathetic study of character. This ebook features an
illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the
author’s estate.
