The Exile is a memoir/biography, or work of creative non-fiction, written by Pearl S. Buck about her mother, Caroline Stulting Sydenstricker, describing her life growing up in West Virginia and life in China as the wife of the Presbyterian missionary Absalom Sydenstricker. This is an intensely moving memoir of the author's mother, Caroline (Carrie) Stulting Sydenstricker, who set off to China as the bride of a zealous Presbyterian missionary in 1880. She would spend the rest of her life there, enduring a harsh, isolated existence in the poor, hostile interior of China.
Good to very good condition with wear & discolouration as shown. Bindings are intact & tight. Illustrated cover artwork is bright & clear. Shelf wear to corners & edges as shown. Photographs are of the actual book you will receive. The condition of recycled books is often subjective to individuals and occasionally small marks or issues may be missed. I provide plenty of quality photos because they say a picture paints a thousand words. Please check these photos carefully as they form part of this description and can describe this item far better than any blurb I might write.
