Dragon Seed by Pearl S. Buck

5.0

I stopped in the middle because I knew what was coming to this family to whom I'd become so attached. But I picked it up again and finished, and I'm so glad I did. The pillaging and rape were not as explicit as I anticipated (after all, it's Pearl S. Buck writing in a whole different time, when much could be left up to the imagination, so unlike books written these days). This is an excellent book and I learned so much about village vs. city life and the plight of the simple folks in China during the invasion of the Japanese.
