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.

It is hard to be disappointed by any Pearl Buck tale, each containing a course in Chinese culture and history

why didn't you use the same narrator. This narrator is not good. He doesn't even pronounce the names right.

One of my favorite authors and trilogies, House of Earth by Buck takes you through old China as the life of one man transforms into the destinies of his whole family. Experience culture and ways of living that differ from your own and explore the choices of men and how it affects the generations that follow.

Narration is terrible. Anthony Heald was infinitely more entertaining. This was painful to listen to.
