I am puzzled by these stories. Really puzzled. The copyright of this book is 1977; Pearl died in 1973 so that means that someone dug these stories out of some dark corner of a long-forgotten drawer and published them. All but one of this collection of seven stories have never been published before and I think I can see why. They were published by the Pearl S. Buck Foundation which means that quite probably Pearl’s young friend Ted Harris had a hand in digging these pieces out of obscurity where they were probably meant to stay. This writing is not even close to the quality of her best-known novels. The stories are all love stories, stories about woman/man relationships, and they are extremely simplistic by today’s standards...almost as if they had been written for fast consumption in a common women’s magazine of the 40s or 50s. In nearly all of them, there is a very fragile man’s ego and a strong woman who has to curb herself and deny expression of her strengths and intellect so she does not upstage the man. The women face the question of how to be all that they can be intellectually and career-wise and still be able to keep a man happy. The characters are not well developed and they are not consistent. My guess is that these stories were written very early in Pearl’s career...I would not be surprised to find that they had been written when she was in college or soon after. Even though I don’t think she ever intended these stories for publication, there is perhaps something to be gleaned in understanding the struggles of Pearl Buck in her personal love relationships. Obviously she was the inquisitive, intelligent, and thinking female who always had a difficult time finding a man who could match the needs of her mind as well as her physical needs of husband, home and hearth. No one man was ever able to do that for her. These stories illustrate her struggle.
