In PAVILION OF WOMEN, Pearl Buck presents a controversial perspective on marriage and societal expectations during the 1940s. This book prompts thought on the roles of men and women, self-control, and personal fulfillment. It is an enlightening blend of traditional China, unconventional Christianity, and freedom.
Buck, the first American woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, tackles these issues through the story of Madame Wu, a 40-year-old woman from a prestigious Chinese family who shocks her family by seeking a concubine for her husband, no longer desiring a physical relationship with him.
This first edition remains in very good condition, aside from minor staining on the cover and the absence of its dust jacket. The copy also boasts provenance through the inclusion of the original owner's name and a December 1946 date.
