Sons of Fortune - Audio CD - Abridged Author:Jeffrey Archer, Paul Michael (Narrator) Jeffrey Archer returns with a powerful tale of twins separated by fate and reunited by destiny. In Hartford, Connecticut, in the late 1940s, a set of twins is parted at birth. Nathaniel Cartwright goes home with his parents, a schoolteacher and an insurance salesman, while his twin brother begins his days as Fletcher Davenport, ... more »son of a multimillionaire and his society wife.
During the 1950s and 1960s, the two brothers grow up apart. In an era of violent change, free love, and blind ambition, Nat leaves college to serve in Vietnam, then earns his MBA and becomes a successful currency dealer. Fletcher graduates from Yale and goes on to distinguish himself as a criminal defense lawyer before entering political combat and becoming a senator. They have been raised in different worlds, and have both thrived among the best and brightest of their generation.
At various times both men are confronted with challenges and obstacles, tragedy and betrayal, loss and hardship. With each choice they make - in love and career, through tragedy and triumph - their lives mirror one another... Until a high-profile murder case brings them together. They both decide to run for governor - unaware they are brothers - and a high-stakes political battle turns them into rivals. Until a decades-old secret is suddenly exposed... and two powerful men must confront their bonds of fate and fortune... Sons of Fortune is as much a chronicle of a nation in transition as it is the story of these two men - how they discover the truth - and its tragic consequences.
