Description
Pearl Buck is the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her first novel tells the fate of a Chinese woman destined to live on the border of two worlds—the Eastern and the Western.
Guīlán was raised in the spirit of a traditional Chinese family: from an early age she was taught humility and obedience— “like a flower that accepts the sun and rain”—as well as unquestioning adherence to her ancestors’ customs. But the familiar order collapses when a girl is married to a man she was betrothed to even before her birth and whom she has never met. Her husband is a doctor educated in the West, and his views sharply clash with what Guīlán was taught. Will she be able to reconcile East and West, accept another system of values, and find, in new ideas, a path to family happiness?
