The Good Earth Trilogy: The Good Earth, Sons, and A House Divided
by Pearl S. Buck


Digital List Price: $49.99
You Save: $45.00 (90%)
Kindle edition currently $4.99

The Pulitzer Prize–winning classic novel of China, together with its two sequels—by the Nobel Prize winner.

The Good Earth is Buck's classic, Pulitzer Prize–winning story of Wang Lung, a Chinese peasant farmer, and his wife, O-lan, a former slave. With luck and hard work, the couple's fortunes improve over the years: They have sons and save steadily until one day they can afford to buy property in the House of Wang—the very house in which O-lan used to work. But success brings with it a new set of problems. Wang soon finds himself the target of jealousy, and as good harvests come and go, so does the social order. Will Wang's family cherish the estate after he's gone? The family's story continues in Sons and A House Divided, when the Revolution sweeping through China further unsettles Wang Lung's family in this rich and unforgettable portrait of a family and a country in the throes of widespread national change.

A novel of its time but not exactly an accurate take on China.

Sometimes a story is just meant to be a pleasant past time vs iife lesson, clever social commentary, personal judgement, etc.

For the record, she wasn't oblivious.

I enjoyed the first book when I was a kid, and I don't think Buck was some horrible person for writing the novels. They should just be taken with a grain of salt.
