Time is Noon

A woman looks back on her long, rocky path to fulfillment in this revealing novel by the New York Times-bestselling author of The Good Earth. Considered one of the most personal and autobiographical novels by the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, The Time Is Noon tells the story of Joan Richards and her journey of self-discovery during the first half of the twentieth century. As a child, Joan finds her individuality obscured by her place in her family and her small town. In her adulthood, her struggle to discover her true self continues-but is inhibited by an unhappy marriage. After breaking free from her husband, she begins a stark reassessment of the way she's been living-and to her surprise, learns to appreciate all that lies ahead-in this elegant novel of chances lost and reclaimed, a beautifully affirming story of one woman's journey to maturity. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author's estate.
