The Good Earth

Last week I've reread a classic novel called the Good Earth(yes the one that Oprah showed at her bookclub but actually I've read it first then I found out out that she once had it in her bookclub)It is written by Pearl S Buck and was published in 1931 and receive a Pulitzer Prize in 1932.

The good
.I like how the story was told it was like reading an autobiography but of course it is more interesting.
.O Lan was a terrific character(Spoiler alert:I cried when she died)
.While the ending was sad I really liked it

The bad
.I really hated Wang Lung and Cuckoo for how they treated O Lan

Quick summary
Wang Lung wakes up and prepare himself since today he is going to get married from a slave girl at the House of Hwang her name is O Lan.Luck is on his side as his harvest grows healthily(thanks to O Lan hard work)and he is gifted with a baby boy(after O Lan gave birth she quickly helps Wang Lung at the field )So with some money he bought some land at the House of Hwang since they have so many and their harvesting isn't doing that well........ That's all I guess.

The conclusion
The Good Earth is a great classic filled with detailed description about China(when the author was young she lived there)the story shows about the hardship people has to go through and O Lan sad story makes this one of the best book I have ever read.
