The Yellow Pearl is a novel by Adeline M. Teskey.Teskey was a Canadian novelist and short story writer, exploring here the themes of cultural clash, identity, and love. Excerpt: «He did not venture to speak again. It is funny to be able in this America to frighten a man! Confucius says that women should „be always modest and respectful in demeanour, and prefer others to themselves“; but I have not to mind Confucius any longer; I am now in the „sweet land of liberty,“ as they sing in their national anthem. I heard my father say once that the gentleness and modesty of Oriental women was really beautiful; but it would not be beautiful in America.»
