Finished reading: A House Divided, by Pearl S. Buck. 📚 I inherited a 10-volume signed limited edition of some of Buck’s works. As far as I could tell, they’d never even been cracked open. Well that’s just silly, and I’ve been working my way through. Simple, slow, and lush reading, wildly out of fashion, and quite enjoyable. This is the third volume of the Good Earth trilogy, tracing the fortunes of the Wang family across three generations. Buck’s writing seems to capture much about a Chinese culture now long-vanished, though how can I know how true-to-life the portrayal is?
