A House Divided, the third volume of the trilogy that began with The Good Earth and Sons, is a powerful portrayal of China in the midst of revolution. Wang Yuan is caught between the opposing ideas of different generations. After 6 years abroad, Yuan returns to China in the middle of a peasant uprising. His cousin is a captain in the revolutionary army, his sister has scandalized the family by her premarital pregnancy, and his warlord father continues to cling to his traditional ideals. It is through Yuan's efforts that a kind of peace is restored to the family.

I just grabbed this at the thrift store for $1. I read The Good Earth years ago and I remembered it being amazing. I understand this is the 3rd book but never read the second. Should I chance it and read it anyways? Who am I kidding, I‘m going to read it regardless 🤣

Mehso-so

Ugh! I got the plot and theme, but.. BUT.. The style of her writing in this book annoyed me! It just bothered me on numerous occasions that she didn‘t use the comma button in the paragraphs and dialogue. Very confusing on my part 🤷🏻‍♀️
⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 5

Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read and review her book. House Divided is a book about a husband a wife who are on both sides of the aisle. She a Democrat, he a Republican for work only. When they come home all of that is put to the side as they care for their 2 adolescent children. But when Erin loses her job and on the same day Back starts a new one, their whole lives will get turned upside down. Full review on my blog.

Bostonmomx2 Ha! That‘s my household (although no kids). My husband and I are opposite in politics (he‘s on the wrong side 😂😂). It‘s been a very challenging year to say the least. 7y
LDuffN @Bostonmomx2 I think you would like this book. 7y
