Buck, Pearl S. "The Good Earth" - 1931
Buck, Pearl S. "Sons" - 1932
The first and second volume in the "Good Earth Trilogy", the third one is "A House Divided".
I absolutely love this story. The description of all sorts of people in pre-revolutionary China is really interesting, Pearl S. Buck manages to describe every single person and event so vividly, you feel like you're almost there.

My Mom made me read this when I was very young - too young, and I hated it. Maybe I should revisit it
ReplyDeleteShe probably loved it and thought you might too, Emma. Yes, maybe try again.
