It's our very first episode in which we discuss a book! Welcome to a not strictly history episode in which we dive, not into history, but into literature. This week we are covering the classic novel "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck. It is a novel set in timeless China chronicling the life of a poor farmer and his family. This book has so much to recommend it. It is a book about faith, love, family, land, traditions, and so much more. Join me as we discuss the characters and the tragedies they face, as well as the wider issues the book addresses and the many good works of its author. I can't wait to share this literary moment with you!
