Product Description

Review
"Peony has the vividness of scene and episode and character and the colorful detail that Pearl Buck's readers have come to expect of her novels in China..." -- New York Herald Tribune.

Product Description
Contains a map detailing Jewish migration and a timeline. This is the story of a culture within a culture. The conflict between the two cultures comes out as a love affair develops between two young people. Peony is classic Pearl Buck showing not only the conflict of the new and old ways but the difficulty in a society where there was no discrimination against the Jews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely loved it! , 11 Feb 2007

By	Chocoholic (Australia) - See all my reviews

I have read a lot of the Pearl Buck books and really enjoy them all. But this one is certainly one of her better ones. I would highly recommend this book. Great story line, easy read and lovely characters...
