On the eve of a popular rebellion, the Chinese government starts to crack down in cities across the country. Fleeing the turmoil, Wang Yuan, the son of a famous general and grandson of the patriarch of The Good Earth, leaves for America to study agriculture. When he returns to China six years later, he encounters a nation still in the grip of violent uprisings. Unprepared for the social upheaval, Wang is torn by the tensions between old traditions and new ways and by his formidable family, whose struggles he hopes to solve.

A perfect ending
Revisado: 02-17-18
A House Divided tells a more personal story than its predecessors, yet still expands the scope of the story. It continues the beautifully minimalist style of writing, and brings a perfect, satisfying end to the trilogy.
The narration by Verner is delightful and brings the story and characters to life.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Stunningly good.
Revisado: 09-18-16
Decided to try this book after reading a mini-review on The Verge. It was initially a little difficult to follow, as the world is so jarringly unique, so rich and detailed (but shrouded in a fog of mysteries). But the unusual use of 2nd person narration for parts piqued my interest and kept me going on. The initial effort was well worth the effort. N. K. Jemisin has crafted a masterpiece. I've already got the next one downloaded and ready to listen to!
