Have any of you missed this one jeffrey's classic? Here's a bit of synopsis... This book depicts a tale of twins separated by fate and reunited by desitiny. It is Hartford, Connecticut, in the late 1940's, and a set of twins is separated at birth by a desperate nurse. 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, son of a wealthy CEO 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. Returning a war hero, he finishes school and goes on to become a successful bank executive. Fletcher, meanwhile, has graduated from Yale University and distinguishes himself as a criminal defense lawyer before he is elected a senator. As their lives unfold, both men are confronted with tragedy and betrayal, loss and hardship, all the time overcoming life's obstacles to become the men they are destined to be. SONS OF FORTUNE is as much a chronicle of a nation in transition and is the story of the making of these two men - and how, eventually, they come to find each other... Reading the synopsis on the dust jacket i got tempted to buy it.It was a good read, full of dynamic characters you can't help caring about and a story that keeps you gripped and turning the pages. There really is no storyteller quite like Archer and he's always been one of my favourite author. Have you read it yet? Grab it and you won't be disappointed.
