Three Daughters of Madame Liang

Resumen del libro

After her husband takes a concubine, Madame Liang sets out on her own, starting an upscale restaurant and sending her daughters to America to be educated. At the restaurant, the leaders of the People's Republic wine and dine and Madame Liang must keep a low profile for her daughters sake.

Soon her two eldest daughters are called back to serve the People's Republic. Her oldest daughter, Grace, now a doctor, finds meaning through her work. Things are not as easy for her daughter Mercy, a musician who is not in demand in the People's Republic, nor for her new husband who she has brought back to China with her.

Biografía del autor

Hija de misioneros, Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973) vivió en China prácticamente hasta los cuarenta años. Distinguida con el Nobel de Literatura en 1938 y autora de obras como "Viento del este, viento del oeste" o "La semilla del dragón", es probablemente su novela "La buena tierra", que obtuvo el Premio Pulitzer en 1932, la que con más constancia ha gozado del favor del público desde que se publicara por primera vez en 1931.
