Kinfolk

Pearl S. Buck was the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, when The Good Earth won this award in 1938. The West Virginia native spent much of her childhood in China as the daughter of missionaries. Kinfolk is the story of a Chinese family. Dr. Liang moves to America in search of a better life, but his children long to return to China. Each responds to their new life in China differently, providing rich insight into the struggles between Eastern and Western culture, and the differences between generations.
