Cometh the Hour: A Novel (Clifton Chronicles) by Jeffrey Archer | Summary & Analysis
Jeffrey Archer’s latest installment continues the Clifton Chronicles into its sixth volume. In it, the Barrington and Clifton families, as well as their close friends, continue to negotiate the changing times of the later twentieth century at the global, national and local levels. An older generation begins to pass away as another, now mature, takes on more and more power and authority.
It follows the continuing fortunes of the Clifton and Barrington families and their friends as they continue to strive for personal, financial and political success in Britain and the rest of the world. Emma Clifton successfully defends herself against legal charges, prompting Fenwick to engage in convoluted, underhanded dealings to maintain her social position. Her associates continue to plot against Emma’s and Sebastian’s financial endeavors, ultimately without success, and Giles falls deeply in love before losing it once again.

Once a good book but this Chronicle is going on for a bit; it is so long I am forgetting what happened in the start. But into the home straight now. Still a good read.
