Synopsis

The novel The Great Family: Spirit and Flesh, also known as The Story of Haitang the Pretty Widow, is a sweeping epic with a female protagonist and a rural setting, set against the backdrop of historical change. Volume One, Storms over Dianbei, follows three storylines: Haitang’s growth as she struggles against fate forms the main plot, supported by two secondary threads that deepen the narrative. One traces the trials and tribulations of the Fate-Changers, led by Wenzhiwu, while the other follows the revolutionaries led by Haiying as they face hardships on their path toward a brighter future. These three storylines complement one another, together forming the novel’s structure. What unfolds before readers is a vivid historical panorama of rural life, rich in local color and populated by a large cast of characters.

I want a story set in a bygone era, but not in some made-up world. Something realistic would be great, and even better if the female lead has a cute little kid. Thanks!
