Description:

This novel is considered by some to be the best fictional account of an American Protestant medical missionary placed in China during the first quarter of the twentieth century. The main point of view of Yang and Yin is the rigid theology of the Christian mission, which is highly misdirected and counterproductive. Yang and Yin studies the effect of cultural contact in the area of ideas; central characters are an American doctor and his protegé, a young Chinese aristocrat. The chasm between the two cultures is also dramatized by other characters, particularly the women. [Suggest a different description.]

Author Bio for Hobart, Alice Tisdale

Alice Tisdale Hobart (January 28, 1882–March 14, 1967) born Alice Nourse in Lockport, New York, was an American novelist. Her most famous book, Oil for the Lamps of China, which was also made into a film, drew heavily on her experiences as the wife of an American oil executive in China amid the turmoil of the overthrow of the Manchu Dynasty in 1912.

She published more than a dozen novels in all by the time of her death in 1967, with almost four million copies in print.
