About This Item
New York: The John Day Company, 1968. Until the letter came from Korea, Laura and Christopher Winters were an extremely happy, eminently successful Philadelphia couple. The letter to Chris changed everything. "Dear American Father," it began; "Kim Christopher" was the signature. The letter rolled back the years in an instant. Chris was once again a lonely young soldier in Korea, where a girl named Soonya helped him forget that he had married just before shipping out. Soonya bore him a son. Then Chris went back to the States....and it was Soonya and his son who were forgotten. Around these remarkable people Pearl Buck has written her most searching, most poignantly moving novel of East and West. Brown cloth boards with the familiar gilt decoration to front board and spine. Bookplate to fep, name to ffep. An immaculate book in an illustrated price-clipped dust jacket.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
