Wow! Where do I even start?
This was a rags to riches story about Charlie Trumper, a fruit and vegetable trader. A very intense and emotional storyline. A story that takes place for seven decades with both World Wars included and other events from other continents.
I loved the way the story switched perspective from one character to the other and covering more activities and thoughts from each one of them.
At first, I thought this 800 paged piece might be a drag, but it got better and better from each page turn. The last 150 pages really had me reading as fast as I can. Marvelous writing and a great ending.
I've read two works of Jeffrey Archer this year a they've been solid 5 stars.

I wonder if Jeff Bezos ever read this book
Extremely engaging book, found it really hard to put down.
Haha, this book took a full year to read. It is the one we have on our kindle that I read to my wife, Whitney, when she can't sleep. A pretty slow and happy book that worked well in lots of tiny readings.
В подростковом возрасте меня очень впечатлила трилогия "Финансист", "Титан", "Стоик" Т.Драйзера.
Эта книга очень похожа на эту трилогию - история восхождения простого торговца на вершину финансового мира.
Только здесь упор на сюжетные повороты и семейные тайны. Надо признать, что сюжет очень неплох, до последних страниц автор умудряется преподносить сюрпризы. Но все же длинновата и последнюю четверть хотелось, чтобы оно все уже разрешилось и все зажили долго и счастливо.
