A House Divided | Pearl S. Bück
4 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
The conclusion to Buck’s celebrated Good Earth trilogy: the story of a man’s return to a homeland embroiled in revolution On the eve of a popular rebellion, the Chinese government starts to crack down in cities across the country. Fleeing the turmoil, Wang Yuan, the son of a famous general and grandson of the patriarch of The Good Earth, leaves for America to study agriculture. When he returns to China six years later, he encounters a nation still in the grip of violent uprisings. Unprepared for the social upheaval, Wang is torn by the tensions between old traditions and new ways, and by his formidable family, whose struggles he hopes to solve. A reflective finale to Buck’s groundbreaking and bestselling trilogy, A House Divided is a rich and unforgettable portrait of a family—and a nation—in transition. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.

I just grabbed this at the thrift store for $1. I read The Good Earth years ago and I remembered it being amazing. I understand this is the 3rd book but never read the second. Should I chance it and read it anyways? Who am I kidding, I‘m going to read it regardless 🤣

Mehso-so

Ugh! I got the plot and theme, but.. BUT.. The style of her writing in this book annoyed me! It just bothered me on numerous occasions that she didn‘t use the comma button in the paragraphs and dialogue. Very confusing on my part 🤷ğŸ»â€â™€ï¸

Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read and review her book. House Divided is a book about a husband a wife who are on both sides of the aisle. She a Democrat, he a Republican for work only. When they come home all of that is put to the side as they care for their 2 adolescent children. But when Erin loses her job and on the same day Back starts a new one, their whole lives will get turned upside down. Full review on my blog.

Bostonmomx2 Ha! That‘s my household (although no kids). My husband and I are opposite in politics (he‘s on the wrong side 😂😂). It‘s been a very challenging year to say the least. 7y
