The Good Earth






The Good Earth is I think the second novel I read of Pear S.Buck. Sadly I do not remember the title of the Turkish translation of the novel I have read years and years ago. But I remember the opening chapter very well (I think that is a testament to the writer's strong prose and storytelling). It was about a woman trying to manipulate her mother in law into deciding the flower she wanted (it was orchids) to grow.

Anyway returning to this one, it is a great novel, a very engaging story even if one doesn't feel particularly interested in China.
