It's the story of a young bondwoman who was adopted/indentured from an orphanage to a Jewish merchant family living in Kaifeng. Published in 1948, Peony is set approximately 100 years earlier. I think they're out of print now but most of them are still reasonably priced. I really liked The Good Earth also, I'm really enamored of all the beautiful covers of Buck's novels that were published a few years ago by Moyer-Bell. Buck that I received as a Christmas gift several years ago. I made a pile of books that I could count towards the Back to the Classics Challenge, and one of them was Peony by Pearl S. I'm still really trying to read as many books as possible this year from my own shelves.
