As she grows into a lovely, provocative young woman, Peony falls in love with the family's only son. However, tradition forbids them to wed. How she resolves her love for him and her devotion to her adoptive family unfolds in this profound tale, based on true events in China over a century ago. — ABOUT THE AUTHOR Pearl S. Buck recreated the lives of ordinary Chinese people in The Good Earth, an overnight worldwide best–seller in 1932, later a blockbuster movie. Buck went on to become the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Long before anyone else, she foresaw China’s future as a superpower, and she recognized the crucial importance for both countries of China’s building a relationship with the United States. As a teenager she had witnessed the first stirrings of Chinese revolution, and as a young woman she narrowly escaped being killed in the deadly struggle between Chinese Nationalists and the newly formed Communist Party. — AUDIOBOOK DETAILS Purchase on Google Play Books ►► https://g.co/booksYT/AQAAAECgznOOwM Language: English Publisher: Oasis Audio Published on: February 22, 2011 ISBN: 9781608148257 Duration: 12 hr, 32 min Genres: Fiction / Classics, Fiction / Coming of Age, Fiction / Cultural Heritage
