The last offering from Jeffrey Archer, even before his passing earlier in the week. I have said that he is my favourite author having read most of his work, and over the past forty years, he is the one that I have craved any new publication. I’ve always said he is a fantastic storyteller, if sometimes a little formulaic.
So to the story. As always engaging from the start. We begin with the births of two children on Armistice Day. There is rivalry between the two, but also respect builds between them. At this point I felt this was to be the main focus of the book (thinking back to formulaic), but a wonderful twist is introduced, and not the only twist. Throughout this narrative emotions are toyed with and different directions taken. I did think there may be a surprise at the end, but it wasn’t to be. All in all a great book to end a writing career, a life. Thank you Jeffrey for all your work.

I can certainly understand why Jeffrey Archer writes a #1 New York Times bestseller. His work is easy to read with great plot twists. Well done!!!

Brilliant storytelling by a master story teller.
Archer will be missed for his books.
I believe his best was Kane and Abel.

4 1/2 stars. This is one of my favorite authors, as I love historical fiction. Great story of WWII.
