Reward at first is meagre, but there is sustenance in the land - until the famine comes. Half-starved, the family joins thousands of peasants to beg on the city streets. It seems that all is lost, until O-lan's desperate will to survive returns them home with undreamt of wealth. But they have betrayed the earth from which true wealth springs, and the family's money breeds only mistrust, deception - and heartbreak for the woman who had saved them."-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20191118. 650 $a Married women $z China $v Fiction. 651 1 $a China $x History $y 1928-1937 $v Fiction. 651 1 $a China $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20200604011429.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C38A827EA62811EABC950BF596128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
