Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck

Christmas 2023 gift from Rachel, finally getting around to reading it. 

This was great! But also frustrating!! Wang Lung sucks majorly. And yet….. i empathize with him. The story was sad, and I think a great criticism of the pursuit of wealth and power. Loved watching Wang Lung’s personality and outlook change dramatically as his life station improved. This is why he sucks !!!! O Lan was awesome and she deserved more.
