✦ Synopsis

Nobel winner Pearl S. Buck�s classic debut novel, about one Chinese woman�s coming of age as she�s torn between Eastern and Western cultures

Kwei-lan is a traditional Chinese girl�taught by her mother to submit in all things, �as a flower submits to sun and rain alike.� Her marriage was arranged before she was born. As she approaches her wedding day, she�s surprised by one aspect of her anticipated life: Her husband-to-be has been educated abroad and follows many Western ideas that Kwei-lan was raised to reject. When circumstances push the couple out of the family home, Kwei-lan finds her assumptions about tradition and modernity tested even further.�
East Wind: West Wind is a sensitive, early exploration of the cross-cultural themes that went on to become a hallmark of Buck�s acclaimed novels.�This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author�s estate.
