Would recommend: Yes

Letter from Peking was a quick book-club read that I really loved. The Chinese context was interesting for me, and I liked how compact the narrative was. I'm looking into reading more Pearl S. Buck in the future.

Beautifully written, but beware! This is soooo sad! (Read it anyway, it's worth it)!
