Relation Toward Books Sons of Fortune
It is often spur-of-the-moment decisions, sometimes made by others, that can change our whole lives.Bestselling author Jeffrey Archer returns with a powerful tale of twins separated by fate and reunited by destiny.
In the late 1940's in Hartford, Connecticut a set of twins is parted at birth. Nat Cartwright goes home with his parents, a schoolteacher and an insurance salesman. But his twin brother is to begin his days as Fletcher Andrew Davenport, the only son of a multi-millionaire and his society wife.
During the years that follow, the two brothers grow up unaware of each other's existence. Nat leaves college at the University of Connecticut to serve in Vietnam. He returns a war hero, finishes school and becomes a successful banker. Fletcher, meanwhile, has graduated from Yale University and distinguishes himself as a criminal defense lawyer before he is elected to the Senate.
Even when Nat and Fletcher fall in love with the same girl they still don't meet. They continue on their separate paths until one has to defend the other for a murder he did not commit. But the final confrontation comes when Nat and Fletcher are selected to stand against each other for governor of the state.
In the tradition of Jeffrey Archer's most popular books, Sons of Fortune is as much a chronicle of a nation in transition as it is the story of two remarkable men and how, eventually, they come to discover the truth - and its extraordinary consequences...

Another great read by Jeffrey Archer - it might not be top of the bill literature, but it's very entertaining and extremely dramatic. Nevertheless, I really cared about the two main characters (twin brothers, seperated at birth) and loved reading about their journeys. I only wished there'd been more interacting between them AFTER the revelation in the end.Read this one four times. I love the twins.
I can't believe I finished this book. Plot contrivances galore, unrealistically written characters with robots for emotions. The equivalent of two and a half men of literature.
Huge fan of the twist and turns of this book. Archer is a master at storytelling. I feel that I can relate to the characters and the storylines presented. Very exciting read.

Easy enough to turn the pages I guess, but this just felt careless in many respects ...Spoiler alert...I agree with Courtney ... The reaction from Nat and Fletcher when they learn that they're twins was so so so underwhelming. Ho hum. Next.The desperate need for life saving AB neg ... hmmm.The grief for Luke's death seemed very brief, and lacked depth. Then for Nat and Su Ling to casually laugh about her mother's: we wash your dirty linen in public advertising slogan for the laundry shop ...
I thoroughly enjoyed Sons of Fortune. It was gripping throughout.(Spoiler alert!) My only two pieces of criticism are these:1) That, when Rebecca Elliot broke down in the courtroom and admitted to killing her husband, her confession seemed too word-perfect and unrealistic. She didn't pause, stutter or rephrase anything - like I would have imagined her to do.2) That Nat's son, Luke, committed suicide on hearing that his mother had been a prostitute once upon a time. I felt that this was totally
