Imperial Woman (Buck, Pearl S. Oriental Novels of Pearl S. Buck, 3rd,)
from Moyer Bell
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

This story is set as a biography of Yehonala/Yehenara/Tzu Hsi/Empress Dowager Cixi, and was overall a good read. But as a novel only, mind you.

Dragon Seed (Buck, Pearl S. Oriental Novels of Pearl S. Buck.)
from Moyer Bell
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

Buck delivers one of her best works in Dragon Seed. While set in China during the Japanese Invasion prior to WWII, this timeless story is not limited by time, culture, or circumstance. And though it was written in 1941 it is as relevant to modern readers as it was to Buck's contemporaries.

Imperial Woman
from The John Day Company

Customer Review:

There are some slight weaknesses to this so this could be 4 1/2 stars.
When I realized what this book was about I was quite surprised to find that a woman had ruled all of China to as recently as 1908, and for that reason alone it seemed like a promicing read, but it's even more then that.more info

The Promise (Oriental Novels of Pearl S. Buck Series)
from Moyer Bell
Price: $10.16

Set during the early years of World War II when the Japanese army was pounding the Burma Road, "The Promise" relates the story of a brave division of Chinese who have... more info
