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.

"I loved this book right from the beginning.... I really liked its main plot line.... two twins seperated at birth and though one hears about the other often.. they never knew what was in store for them.. Jeffrey Archer lived up to his name.... "

“A worthy successor to the still best-selling The Da Vinci Code.
— New York Post on Jeffrey ArcherA master at mixing power, politics, and profit into fiction.
— Entertainment Weekly on Jeffrey Archer" This 7 year old book was one of Archer's best! Twins separated at birth, but done in a way you haven't seen before! Loved it! "
— Sally, 2/3/2014" A pretty "fluffy" book, but entertaining. About twin brothers separated at birth and one day end up running for public office against each other. Follows their lives from birth to 40ish, detailing how their lives parallel one another. Fun read, but nothing earth-shattering. "
— Melanie, 1/31/2014" I always love a Jeffrey Archer. I know they are formulaic and cliched, but I still love them... "
— Allan, 1/25/2014" ( Filhos da Fortuna ) "
— Babete, 1/10/2014" Enjoyable but I have to say not one of his best found it a bit long. "
— Trina, 1/10/2014" I'd forgotten how much I love to read Jeffery Archer. Great story. "
— Natalie, 12/30/2013" Great story! Couldn't put it down. "
— Nichole, 12/28/2013" Easy to read but VERY predictable and a little bland!!! "
— Ciara, 12/19/2013" Menarik mulai dari awal sampai akhir cerita..... "
— Fina, 12/19/2013" It's a bit slow at first, and at times the characters are hard to keep straight. I could've done without all the fine details about the financial world/stocks but in the end it was a worthwhile read that really left me wondering what I would do if faced with the same situation. "
— Linsey, 12/7/2013" Well written, developed characters and plots; not necessarily a page turner. Not something that I would likely read until 2 AM but still a good book. Will read other Jeffrey Archer. "
