Spring Moon by Bette Bao Lord. 1981 Harper & Row, later printing. Lord is a Chinese immigrant and human rights activist who drew inspiration from her experience of being a child immigrant in her writing. Spring Moon was her first novel. According to Kirkus Reviews: "With copious snatches of Chinese history, poems and folk tales, rituals leavened with warmth, humor, and nostalgia--a gently engaging saga which offers attractive echoes of Pearl Buck as well as an agreeable sheen all its own."

Condition: VG, some wear to jacket.

"The loss had been anticipated."
