Book #1 in The Good Earth Trilogy
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

When O-lan, a servant girl, marries the peasant Wang Lung, she toils unceasingly through pregnancies for their family's survival. 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 untold wealth. But they have betrayed the earth from which true wealth springs, and the family's money breeds only mistrust, deception, and heartbreak.

The Good Earth is a comprehensive family saga and story of female sacrifice - a classic of twentieth-century literature.
