About This Item
The House of Wu, one of the oldest and most revered in China, is thrown into an uproar by her decision, but Madame Wu will not be dissuaded and arranges for a young country girl to come take her place in bed Elegant and detached, Madame Wu orchestrates this change as she manages everything in the extended household of more than sixty relatives and servants Alone in her own quarters, she relishes her freedom and reads books she has never been allowed to touch When her son begins English lessons, she listens, and is soon learning from the "foreigner," a free-thinking priest named Brother Andre, who will change her life Pavilion of Women is a thought-provoking combination of Old China, unorthodox Christianity, and liberation, written by Pearl S Buck, a Nobel Prize winner born and raised in China Few stories raise so many questions about the nature and roles of men and women, about self-discipline and happiness At the center is the amazing Madame Wu -brilliant, beautiful, full of contradictions and authority
