The Mother

Beschreibung

The Mother by Pearl S. Buck is a poignant novel about a poor Chinese peasant woman who struggles to survive in a patriarchal and unforgiving society. Abandoned by her husband, she is left to raise her children alone, facing social stigma, poverty, and emotional hardship. Despite her suffering, she endures with quiet strength, driven by her love for her children and a deep sense of duty. The novel highlights the silent sacrifices of women and critiques the traditional roles imposed on them. It's a moving portrayal of motherhood, resilience, and the harsh realities of rural life in early 20th-century China.
