The Three Daughters of Madam Liang

I love Buck's novels. She was brilliant beyond her means and age. I have read several of her books and this one had a little different taste. I like how she captured all that was going in China at the time, and yet she, herself had leave, and was not allowed back. She can develop characters and follow them through to the end. It was as usual sad and exciting at the same time. ( )

This is a well-written book, one that provides meaningful perspective on the development of Communist China. Unfortunately, it's also very dull and forgettable. ( )
