Track listing
adj. Able to act effectively or imaginatively, especially in difficult situations. re·source  ful·ly adv. , faithful and hardworking
slave, and who, through their hard work and her ingenuity, were able to
buy land and become rich peasants and raise their family in luxury,
eventually hoarding grain while poor peasants starved--just as others
had done to Wang Lung when he was poor. It is also a story of the
hardworking but plain wife, the beautiful and lazy concubine CONCUBINE. A woman who cohabits with a man as his wife, without being married. , the
free-loading uncle who also happens to be part of a violent gang and
whose odious presence does protect the house from angry hungry people
who routinely steal from the rich during famine famineExtreme and protracted shortage of food, resulting in widespread hunger and a substantial increase in the death rate. General famines affect all classes or groups in the region of food shortage; class famines affect some classes or groups much more severely than years, and the sons and their wives who become increasingly jealous of each other. The writing is vivid, the characters are real and sympathetic. Kate Reading's gentle voice is smooth and melodious; and she has entertaining and entirely appropriate voices for the many characters.
