Buck&rsquo;s children&rsquo;s story, <i>The Big Wave</i>, about two young friends whose lives are transformed when a volcano erupts and a tidal wave engulfs their village, was eventually optioned as a movie. <i>A Bridge for Passing</i> narrates the resulting adventure, the story of the people involved in the movie-making process (including Polish director Tad Danielewski), their many complications while shooting, and the experience of working in Japan at a time when memories of the war remained strong. As much as all this, the book is a poignant reflection on personal crisis, and relates Buck&rsquo;s grief over the death of her husband of twenty-five years, Richard Walsh, who was also her editor.<i> A Bridge for Passing</i> offers an intimate view of postwar Japan mixed with Buck&rsquo;s heartrending meditation on loss and love.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div></div>
