This New York Timesâbestselling novel by the Nobel Prizeâwinning author of The Good Earth is an affecting portrait of interracial love in postwar Japan. Pearl S. Buckâs The Hidden Flower centers on the relationship between a Japanese student and an American soldier stationed in postwar Japan. The Japanese studentâs father worked in the United States as a doctor, but had to flee to Kyoto to avoid imprisonment in an internment camp. The American soldier has inherited his familyâs estate in Virginia, where interracial marriage is forbidden. Against such forces, and without the help of their families, how can the love between the young pairâand the future of their childâflourish? The Hidden Flower is an emotionally astute and moving exploration of a taboo love across cultures. Â This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the authorâs estate. |
