A graceful and intimate portrait of a family caught between centuries-old tradition and the rising tide of modernity
Told through the eyes of Kwei-lan, a young Chinese woman raised in strict Confucian customs, East Wind: West Wind follows her arranged marriage to a Western-educated doctor whose modern views challenge everything she has been taught to value.
As Kwei-lan learns to navigate love, independence, and change, her family faces their own collisions with a rapidly shifting world—defying tradition, embracing new ideas, and struggling to hold fast to the past. Buck's lyrical prose and deep cultural insight create a vivid tale of transformation, courage, and the enduring power of the human heart.
Perfect for listeners who delight in rich, character-driven stories of the heart, this classic illuminates the moment where East meets West, and the personal revolutions that follow.
