As the Crow Flies
by Jeffrey Archer
A masterpiece. Having stumbled upon few works of Archer, I always knew this was going to be another amazing novel. But what didn't occur to me was how awe-inspiring it would be, leaving me astounded by the end.
The plot was sheer brilliance, spanning from 1900 to 1971 it's woven around the life of Charlie Trumper, the honest trader, and the characters supporting the story, his rise from his Grandpas barrow at East End to his own department store, Trumper's. Being published in 1991, it couldn't have gone easy for Archer relate to a story commencing 41 years even before his time with all the history-altering incidents such as two World Wars and whatnot. What decorated this were small twists and how the small web of characters interconnected despite their contrasting nationalities and origins. I'm utterly sure this can be recommended as a simple guidebook to those dealing in commerce plus a handbook to anyone else on how to reach the peak from zero. A must read, and one of my favorites.
