Within this novel Ms. Buck paints the portrait of a poor woman living in a remote village whose joys are few and hardships are many. As the ancient traditions, which she bases her philosophies upon, begin to collide with the new ideals of the communist era, this peasant woman must find a balance between them and deal with the consequences.

The Mother: A Novel | Pearl S. Bück

I have too many choices for #China for #foodandlit this month, all in my kindle library. I‘ll start with the tagged book and hope I might get to one or two more. Any favorites here?

I had a hard time coming up with a quote for #quality. Nothing that I found really struck me. But this one about doing something well and excellence seemed like a good fit. #quotsynov17
