The classic coming-of-age novel about a young Chinese woman torn
between Eastern and Western cultures by the Nobel Prize–winning
author of The Good Earth. Kwei-lan is a traditional Chinese
girl—taught by her mother to submit in all things, “as a flower
submits to sun and rain alike.” Her marriage was arranged before she
was born. As she approaches her wedding day, she’s surprised by one
aspect of her anticipated life: Her husband-to-be has been educated
abroad and follows many Western ideas that Kwei-lan was raised to
reject. When circumstances push the couple out of the family home,
Kwei-lan finds her assumptions about tradition and modernity tested
even further. East Wind: West Wind is a sensitive, early
exploration of the cross-cultural themes that went on to become a
hallmark of Buck’s acclaimed novels. This ebook features an
illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the
author’s estate.
