The Good Earth
by Pearl S. Buck
read: circa 1994
Pulitzer Prize
This was the first assigned reading book I had for high school English. I remember two things from the book:
1. the women's feet were bound to make them attractive, which makes it sound awful to be a woman in China during that time period.
2. the main character made it his mission in life to acquire land and valued land above all else.
