The West Virginia native spent much of her childhood in China as the daughter of missionaries. Kinfolk is the story of a Chinese family.

Potrait of a marriage - For Edward Haslatt there was no thought of another woman. He loved his wife with a devotion that began with their courtship and grew with the years. Yet Margaret Haslatt had a rival more dangerous than any sloe-eyed mistress. - Edward had built his father's printing shop into a thriving publishing house. He gave himself to it with all his time and energy.But for a married man there are other demands. There is a constant conflict between his wife's needs and the pressures of his work, between his temperament and hers. There are the donflicts that simmer under the surface of every male and female, conflicts that sometimes flare into a blaze of anger.This intimate story by Pearl S. Buck (written originally under the pseudonym John Sedges which she used from 1945 until at least 1949)

Portrait of a Marriage

At the turn of the century, an upper-class painter from Philadelphia goes searching for inspiration. He finds his muse on a farm-the farmer's beautiful and humble daughter. His portrait of her becomes one of his most inspired works, but his passion for the illiterate girl doesn't stop at the easel: He returns to marry her and settle down to country life-a journey that means bridging enormous gaps between their cultures, breaking from his parents, and creating tension between their friends. Pearl S. Buck compassionately imagines both sides of the complex marriage, and in addition, creates a wonderfully vivid picture of America leading up to the Second World War.
