Within this novel Ms. Buck paints the portrait of a poor woman living in a remote village whose joys are few and hardships are many. As the ancient traditions, which she bases her philosophies upon, begin to collide with the new ideals of the communist era, this peasant woman must find a balance between them and deal with the consequences.

I have too many choices for #China for #foodandlit this month, all in my kindle library. I‘ll start with the tagged book and hope I might get to one or two more. Any favorites here?

WorldsOkayestStepMom I loved The Good Earth! And I have A Single Swallow on my Kindle tbr too. 8mo
Tamra The Good Earth was a wonderful reading experience - I think I‘ve read it twice. 8mo
Amiable I second @WorldsOkayestStepMom -I too loved “The Good Earth” 8mo
Texreader @WorldsOkayestStepMom @Tamra @Amiable Y‘all have convinced me to read The Good Earth first. So I‘ve bought the audiobook to read when I finish the one I‘m listening to now. Thanks for the recommendation!! 8mo

I had a hard time coming up with a quote for #quality. Nothing that I found really struck me. But this one about doing something well and excellence seemed like a good fit. #quotsynov17
