East Wind: West Wind: The Saga of a Chinese Family (Oriental Novels of Pearl S. Buck Book 8)

The classic coming-of-age novel about a young Chinese woman torn between Eastern and Western cultures by the Nobel Prizeâ€“winning author of The Good Earth.
Â Kwei-lan is a traditional Chinese girlâ€”taught by her mother to submit in all things, â€œas a flower submits to sun and rain alike.â€ Her marriage was arranged before she was born. As she approaches her wedding day, sheâ€™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.Â East Wind: West Wind is a sensitive, early exploration of the cross-cultural themes that went on to become a hallmark of Buckâ€™s acclaimed novels.Â This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the authorâ€™s estate.
