Young Peony is sold into a rich Chinese household as a bondmaid &mdash an awkward role in which she is more a servant, but less a daughter. 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. |
Pearl S. Buck was born in West Virginia and taken to China before the turn of the century. She began writing while in China and publishing her first novel shortly after returning to this country. Ms. Buck won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932 for The Good Earth and the Noble Prize in Literature in 1938. |
