Excerpt from The Book of the Peony Although the peony has been a favourite in gardens for very many years, and although experts and hybridisers have been developing and improving the flower for over half a century, no book has yet been published containing the widely scattered facts as to its history and cultivation. In France and England both amateur and professional horticulturists lavished time and devotion on its improvement. The marked success attained by them in producing incredibly beautiful types caused the greater appreciation of the peony to extend to this country. In America such men as Richardson, Hollis and Terry have done work along similar lines to that of the foreign experts. The peony - at present extensively grown - is constantly and rapidly increasing in popularity. Certain enthusiastic commercial growers have made peonies their specialty - sometimes peonies alone and sometimes peonies together with a few other perennials.

A young Chinese woman falls in love with a Jewish man in nineteenth-century China in this evocative novel by the Nobel Prize–winning author of The Good Earth. In 1850s China, a young girl, Peony, is sold to work as a bondmaid for a rich Jewish family in Kaifeng. Jews have lived for centuries in this region of the country, but by the mid-nineteenth century, assimilation has begun taking its toll on their small enclave. When Peony and the family’s son, David, grow up and fall in love with one another, they face strong opposition from every side. Tradition forbids the marriage, and the family already has a rabbi’s daughter in mind for David. Long celebrated for its subtle and even-handed treatment of colliding traditions, Peony is an engaging coming-of-age story about love, identity, and the tragedy and beauty found at the intersection of two disparate cultures. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.

Peony has neither seen nor spoken to any man other than her father, a wealthy Chinese nobleman. Nor has she ever ventured outside the cloistered women's quarters of the family villa. As her sixteenth birthday approaches she finds herself betrothed to a man she does not know, but Peony has dreams of her own. Her father engages a theatrical troupe to perform scenes from The Peony Pavilion, a Chinese epic opera, in their garden amidst the scent of ginger, green tea and jasmine. 'Unmarried girls should not be seen in public,' says Peony's mother, but her father allows the women to watch from behind a screen. Here, Peony catches sight of an elegant, handsome man and is immediately bewitched. So begins her unforgettable journey of love, desire, sorrow and redemption.
