To Pearl S. Buck readers, if you are out there.... I have just finished reading "Come, My Beloved" which is set in India from the 1890's to 1930's, more or less, about three generations of Americans and their actions/activities while living in India. The book ends with the "Christian" missionary father figure finally giving up his long goal of teaching/converting Christianity in India when his daughter wants to marry an Indian! I found this ending most disturbing and in direct opposition to her attitude in most of her books. I was shocked that she wrote a book that clearly reflects her absolute prejudice against the "dark-skinned" people of India. Throughout the story, there is sweetness and light, acceptance and love....but....as soon as the daughter wants to marry one....whoops! Off they go to America. Never the twain shall meet, apparently. Any comments on this, please? whippetgal     sarahandgucci@yahoo.com ====
