Description

Encompassing three continents and spanning over sixty years, bestselling author Jeffrey Archer's As the Crow Flies brings to life a magnificent tale of one man's rise from rags to riches set against the backdrop of a changing century.

Growing up in the slums of East End London, Charlie Trumper dreams of someday running his grandfather's fruit and vegetable barrow. That day comes suddenly when his grandfather dies leaving him the floundering business. With the help of Becky Salmon, an enterprising young woman, Charlie sets out to make a name for himself as "The Honest Trader". But the brutal onset of World War I takes Charlie far from home and into the path of a dangerous enemy whose legacy of evil follows Charlie and his family for generations.

    As a forerunner to "Only Time Will Tell," Archer's "As the Crow Flies" is an outstanding indicator of the author's skills. In wonderful prose writing, he gives a story which is historical while also being a novel impossible to put down. Comparative to Rutherfurds "Sarum". I enjoyed every word.

    I really enjoyed this book and found it hard to put down. I loved how the author told the story from many different points of views, allowing you to piece together the story bit by bit. Just when you think you have it figured out, someone throws a wrench into your thought process. In the end, it's a smart rags to riches story marred by a secret that some characters would go to extremes to keep hidden.
