Mandala Buck, Pearl S. Oriental and ancient, modern and Jungian, a "mandala" is a cosmic and also a individual symbol....It is in effect an agreeable augury. If not a guarantee of happy endings, it is at least a promise of moral and ethical enhancement. In fact, practically everyone in this story laid in Northwest India...winds up finer, noble, a bit less mundane, an infinitesimally bit more godlike. —New York Times |

...News reaches the couple [Maharana Prince Jagat and his wife, Moti] that their only son, Jai, has been killed by the Chinese in a border skirmish, an inconsolable Moti sends Jagat out to bring the boy's spirit home. On the journey, the prince becomes involved with a beautiful and mysterious young American woman. Thus begins the fatal attraction between Eastern and Western ways, one bound by rigid custom, the other temptingly ripe with freethinking....Her simple yet evocative language, well-developed characters, and timeless plot make Mandala |
a fascinating addition to the fiction shelf. —Midwest Book Review Pearl S. Buck was born in West Virginia and taken to China before the turn of the century.
