The Good Earth (Used Hardcover) - Pearl S. Buck

When O-lan, a servant girl, marries the peasant Wan Lung, she toils tirelessly through four pregnancies for their family's survival. Reward is meagre, but there is sustenance in the land — until the famine comes. Half-starved, the family joins thousands to beg on the city streets. All seems 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.
