I was really excited to read this book. I read it in High School and remembered it well. This is a moving classic story of Wang Lung and his self-less wife O-Lan. It sweeps across China and shows the the changes that have occured in the lives of the Chinese people in the last century. It was depressing and awful. Yet wonderful at the same time.
