Reward at first is meagre, but there is sustenance in the land - until the famine comes.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>The Good Earthis a riveting family saga and story of female sacrifice - a classic of twentieth-century literature. |
