Sons of Fortune

De: Jeffrey Archer

Narrado por: Paul Michael

New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Archer-returns with a powerful tale of twins separated by fate and reunited by destiny in Sons of Fortune.

In Hartford, Connecticut, in the late 1940s, a set of twins is parted at birth-not by accident. Nat Cartwright goes home with his parents, a schoolteacher and an insurance salesman, while his twin brother begins his days as Fletcher Davenport, son of a millionaire and his society wife.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the two brothers grow up apart, following similar paths that take them in different directions. Nat leaves college at the University of Connecticut to serve in Vietnam, then finishes school, earns his MBA, and becomes a successful currency dealer. Fletcher, meanwhile, graduates from Yale University with a bachelor's and a law degree, going on to distinguish himself as a criminal defense lawyer.

At various times in their lives, both men are confronted with challenges and obstacles, tragedy and betrayal, loss and hardship, before they both decide to run for governor, unaware they are brothers....

Sons of Fortune is as much a chronicle of a nation in transition as it is the story of the making of these two men—and how they eventually discover the truth—and its tragic consequences.

"A master at mixing power, politics, and profit into fiction." (Entertainment Weekly)
"Cunning plots, silken style... Archer plays a cat-and-mouse game with the reader." (The New York Times)

Sons of Fortune

Very good book and I enjoyed it very much -I recomment this book and know you will not want to put it down.

REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE/QUALITY OF RECORDING

I have listened to almost all of Jeffrey Archers full length fiction books and this is the only recording that sounds bad/old. I have just gotten into it and the narrator seems to be just reading it, compared the the narration of John Lee for example who brings the book to life. Not sure I can get through it. If it gets better I will update my review. But so far I am disappointed.

Pure entertainment.

Another excellent, entertaining story by Jeffrey Archer. I was sorely disappointed when I realized there was an unabridged version as I wanted it to last longer.

I listened to the audiobook on my way to and from work and found myself sitting in the car for a few moments to get as much in at the last minute.

Excellent listen and I'm now a confirmed Jeffrey Archer fan.
