A woman looks back on her long, rocky path to fulfillment in this revealing novel by the New York Times-bestselling author of The Good Earth. Considered one of the most personal and autobiographical novels by the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, The Time Is Noon tells the story of Joan Richards and her journey of self-discovery during the first half of the twentieth century. As a child, Joan finds her individuality obscured by her place in her family and her small town. In her adulthood, her struggle to discover her true self continues--but is inhibited by an unhappy marriage. After breaking free from her husband, she begins a stark reassessment of the way she's been living--and to her surprise, learns to appreciate all that lies ahead--in this elegant novel of chances lost and reclaimed, a beautifully affirming story of one woman's journey to maturity. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author's estate. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Not one of Buck's best, but definitely not one of her worst, either. It took a while for me to get into this one, and then once I got into it, watching Joan get hit with one horrible tragedy after another alienated me a little because of the sheer unbelievability of the whole thing. I wish I had been able to identify the time period of the action, but that's a minor complaint. I also with Buck had been more consistent with the number of years that passed and the ages of the children, but maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention. Regardless, this was one of her better books about Western culture (her best books are all about Eastern culture). ( )
