THE TEA GIRL OF HUMMINGBIRD LANE, by Lisa See








Literature -- 5 stars


When a young Chinese girl gives birth to a child out of wedlock, she travels to a distant city where she secretly abandons the child.  Her daughter is adopted by a wealthy American couple and grows up in privilege, while she returns to a primitive life that revolves around the seasons of growing and processing tea. Well written and fascinating.  I couldn't help thinking that Pearl S. Buck would have approved.
