It has been aeons since I last read a book set in Great Britain in the early 1900s. For the past decade or more, I have consciously been reading contemporary books and sourcing and supporting new authors with their books set in the present techie age because I told myself I have had enough of the past. But when one of my favourite writers of our age produced his latest novel (published 12 May 2011), how could I possibly ignore it? I could not. To put it mildly, I will read anything that Lord Jeffrey Archer writes. I am already very excited to get ahold of the sequel to Only Time Will Tell called The Sins Of The Father, which will be out in March 2012 in hardback, audio and Kindle. Happy reading.
First line in the book: This story would never have been written if I hadn't become pregnant.
Hardcover blurb: The Clifton Chronicles is Jeffrey Archer's most ambitious work in four decades as an international bestselling author.
The epic tale of Harry Clifton's life begins in 1919, in the backstreets of Bristol. His father was a war hero, but it will be twenty-one tumultuous years before Harry discovers the truth about how his father really died and if, in fact, he even was his father.
Only Time Will Tell takes a cast of memorable characters from the ravages of the Great War to the outbreak of the Second World War, when Harry must decide whether to take his place at Oxford, or join the fight against Hitler's Germany.
In Jeffrey Archer's masterful hands, you will be taken on a journey that you won't want to end, even after you've turned the last page of this unforgettable yarn, because then you will be faced with a dilemma that neither you nor Harry Clifton could ever have anticipated.
I enjoyed listening to this conversation with Lord Archer:
