Pearl of China by Anchee Min
In late nineteenth-century China, two girls from utterly different worlds forge an enduring friendship. Nine-year-old Willow, impoverished and Chinese, finds solace and kinship with Pearl, the spirited daughter of American missionaries. Against the tumultuous backdrop of the Boxer Rebellion and the rise of Communism, their paths diverge dramatically, even as Pearl rises to literary fame in America as Pearl S. Buck. Their loyalty, however, perseveres through decades of war, famine, and political persecution in a powerful testament to female connection. This unforgettable historical fiction novel explores themes of resilience, identity, and the enduring strength of friendship across cultures.
