Letter from Peking
1 journaler for this copy...
From the back cover:
Elizabeth MacLeod received a letter in Vermont. She had been forced to leave her half-Chinese husband when the Communists entered Peking. And she had taken their son and returned to America, returned to the family farm to wait, sustained by her passionate love for the husband from whom she was so unwillingly separated.
Then came that last letter and her whole existence was violently overturned.
Paperback edition from Pocket Books.
I have no idea where I got this book from, but it's been on my shelf for years. I finally read it and I really liked it. It's sad, but a fascinating story. The kind of book nobody writes anymore.
