Reward at first is meagre, but there is sustenance in the land - until the famine comes. Half-starved, the family joins thousands of peasants to beg on the city streets. It seems that all is lost, until O-lan's desperate will to survive returns them home with undreamt of wealth.

The Good Earthis a riveting family saga and story of female sacrifice - a classic of twentieth-century literature.
