In honor of Thanksgiving, I am writing a review for an old book which I am thankful for. The pearl is the tale of a man name Kino, his wife Juana, and there dying baby Coyotito. In this story Kino lives at the bay so his "pueblo" (village) is known for there pearls. After Kino's son is bit by a scorpion and the doctor refuses to see the child without pay Kino goes out to search for pearls.
While searching Kino finds the legendary "Pearl of Life". After finding this Kino becomes very greedy, and his fate takes a turn after getting robbed twice, fighting with the traitors, and getting his house burned down Kino, his wife, and son flea. While fleeing great tragedy strikes his family forcing his family to return and destroy the pearl
