The conclusion to Buck's celebrated Good Earth trilogy: the story of a man's return to a homeland embroiled in revolution.

On the eve of a popular rebellion, the Chinese government starts to crack down in cities across the country. Fleeing the turmoil, Wang Yuan, the son of a famous general and grandson of the patriarch of The Good Earth, leaves for America to study agriculture. When he returns to China six years later, he encounters a nation still in the grip of violent uprisings. Unprepared for the social upheaval, Wang is torn by the tensions between old traditions and new ways and by his formidable family, whose struggles he hopes to solve.

A reflective finale to Buck's groundbreaking and best-selling trilogy, A House Divided is a rich and unforgettable portrait of a family - and a nation - in transition.

I listened to this book because it was the third the trilogy and I wanted to complete the set. The first book, The Good Earth, was excellent. The second was not nearly as good. This was as good as the first in my opinion. The author spent more time, as in the first book, developing the main character, Yuan. It showed him in his strengths and his flaws, and in his character as he matured into a man. The narrator has a calm way of delivering the narrative that I found very enjoyable and that worked well with the manner of speech which is not used today. If you enjoyed The Good Earth, I highly recommend this third book in the trilogy.

Beautiful story of a forgotten time

What a fantastic way to end off the trilogy! The story led to new and exciting places; exploring politics, religion, nationalism, racism and many other topics in an enlightening way.

Fantastic!

The ending gave only a small hint of all that was to develop in China as a communist nation.
