*This Proud Heart by Pearl S. Buck
I found this book in my friend's father's bookshelf a long time ago. He had a complete set of Pearl S. Buck's books which i devoured one by one each time i came over for a visit. I was content to simply read the other titles and to enjoy them as a reader, except for this one. This one i wanted to translate, if ever the opportunity came. And it did come. And i was grateful for it. This book is probably not as popular as The Good Earth trilogy or Madame Wu and may not be in the market anymore, but it's just as beautifully written. It's not one of Pearl's China stories thought. The setting is Americca, with an American heroine, and i relate to her more than i do to the heroines in Pearl's other books. This book is probably not in print anymore even in US.
