What happens when you combine one of my favorite authors, a rags to riches story, and an evil, rich adversary? As the Crow Flies is the answer to that question. The story takes place in London and follows the Trumpers family through four generations as Charlie Trumper starts out with his grandfather selling fruits and vegetables from his roadside barrow.
Charlie’s success is interupted by the first World War, but returns to find fortune the old fashioned way, hard work. It is an interesting contrast as he battles a priveledged, “old money” lady to achieve success. His adversary spends decades to exact revenge and even reaches out from the grave to threaten the Trumper family.
All of Jeffrey Archer’snovels feature intricate plot twists and As The Crow Flies does not disappoint. The story pulled me in and held me until the last page.
If you want to settle down with a good book, you would not go wrong. Pick up a copy today.
