The end of The Good Earth, the first book I ever read by Pearl S. Buck, and the first book in the Trilogy. I believe I was a little older than 11 when I read this book last, and, sitting here at age 64, many memories still come back to me with the innocence of a young child.
Maria, the 64-year-old, sees and feels much deeper than when was 11. Some differences are shocking.

The second book, about the Sons of Wang Lung, was the most difficult to read. Cyclical famine and poverty, the ubiquitous helplessness, are gut-wrenchingly sad, still, as with The Good Earth, an eye into a lost culture. I finished the second book, and I am hearing Pearl Buck's cadenced voice an hour later in the silence of my room.
