Summary
The second installment in Pearl S. Buck's acclaimed Good Earth trilogy: the powerful story of three brothers whose greed will bring their family to the brink of ruin.
Sons begins where The Good Earth ended: revolution is sweeping through China. Wang Lung is on his deathbed in the house of his fathers, and his three sons stand ready to inherit his hard-won estate. One son has taken the family's wealth for granted and become a landlord; another is a thriving merchant and moneylender; and the youngest, an ambitious general, is destined to be a leader in the country. Through all his life's changes, Wang did not anticipate that each son would hunger to sell his beloved land for maximum profit.
At once a tribute to early Chinese fiction, a saga of family dissension, and a depiction of the clashes between old and new, Sons is a vivid and compelling masterwork of fiction.

Haunting
This writer was recommended to me by a friend and I am hooked.
As I was brought up in the Far East by my Western parents it takes me back to another culture and a totally different mindset. It is beautifully written with a sparse style with the feeling of King James’ English.
Beautiful.

Is blood thicker than water?
Strangely convincing tale of three brothers and their extended families. Each of the three sons has a very different temperament which leads them to react differently to their inheritance, on the event of their father’s death.
