Pearl S. Buck is a classic realism writer. She is very much of the same flavor as John Steinbeck. In this book is told the story of two families, on that lives on the beach and they make their life fishing, while the other lives in the mountain and they farm. When the first family is all killed due to a tsunami, except for the son, their son is invited to stay with the family in the mountains. They raise him, and he falls in love with their daughter, Setsu. But when they move to the beach so the young man, Jiya, could become a fisherman. He says he always new he had to go back to the sea.
This is very descriptive and a very good character book.
