5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely adored this book, 11 July 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pavilion of Women: A Novel of Life in the Woman's Quarters (Paperback)

I stumbled across this book in an old store and couldnt get home fast enough to read it. I found it fascinating to gain insight from my armchair, culture and traditions from China. I loved the characters and the style it was written. There was more than just a change in a life here (Madam Wu) there was the lifelong friendship of her best friend, the challenges of their children, the political times they faced, forbidden love and the complexities of arrogance.. My only regret is that this book is no longer in print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fabulous Chinese Buck Novel, 26 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pavilion of Women: A Novel of Life in the Woman's Quarters (Paperback)

The story is the typical Chinese setting: wife brings in a concubine for husband. The sad thing was that when Lady Wu was carrying out family traditions that started from centuries ago, they never went through.

A very well developed and pessimistic tale of how modernisation has destructed history and long lived conventional ideas. A masterpiece for lovers of THE GOOD EARTH.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite Pearl Buck, 30 Aug 2002

By	hilary rivano (Portsmouth, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pavilion of Women: A Novel of Life in the Woman's Quarters (Library Binding)

I have owned a copy of this book since I was sixteen, my mother
passed it to me, I think in order that I should learn something
about what it means to be an adult woman. Pearl Bucks writing
feels as if it has been translated from the original Chinese and
conveys both the delicacy and brutality of life in China at the
time she was writing. Her insight into the inner world of Chinese society has the sharpness of Jane Austen combined with passion and a yearning for what cannot be. All women approaching
their middle years should read this book for inspiration.
