Printer-friendly version
On Thursday, September, 16, Oprah announced the selection of Simon & Schuster's The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck as the next title to be read by the Oprah Book Club.
The novel, set in the last years of imperial China, follows the lives of the peasant Wang Lung and his wife, O-Lan, who are forced to tackle a new and uncertain landscape. It was first published in 1931 and won the Pulitzer Prize the following year.
On her Web site, Oprah said, "It's a sweeping saga that's been called 'a universal tale of the destiny of man.' And it's juicy as all get out!"
