From Amazon.com

When Charlie Trumper inherits his grandfather's fruit and vegetable barrow, he inherits as well his enterprising spirit, which quickly lifts him out of poverty in London's East End. Success, however, does not come easily or quickly, particularly when World War I sends Charlie into combat and into an ongoing struggle with a vengeful enemy who will not rest until Charlie is destroyed. Charlie Trumper's epic journey carries him across three continents and through the triumphs and disasters of the twentieth century, all leading toward the fulfillment of his greatest dream. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Jeffrey Archer Is Undisputed Master of Storytelling, Mai 10 2004
Par Antoinette Klein (Hoover, Alabama USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: As the Crow Flies (Hardcover)
This is the third novel by Jeffrey Archer that I have read and I can't wait to read more. His amazing storytelling ability, completely enchanting characters, and surprising twists all combine to make a totally enjoyable novel.

Archer uses his rags-to-riches theme with Charlie Trumper, young barrow boy from the Whitechapel area of London's East End. Charlie masters the fine craft of becoming the best fruit and vegetable man in all of the East End, a talent he hones at his grandfather's side and one that stays with him for life and gives him his greatest thrill.

The reader watches Charlie grow from eight-year-old urchin to World War I soldier and chairman of his own London department store. Along the way both triumph and tragedy are his companions, but it is his bitter and hate-filled feud with the Trentham family that will leave you aghast and shocked, but always mesmerized and turning the pages.

For Jeffrey Archer has written here the ultimate page-turner, one you will be loathe to put down for such mundane tasks as going to work or sleeping. And as always with Jeffrey Archer, you will never guess the ending. He will surprise you and make this reading experience one you'll long savor.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A must read highly addictive book, Oct. 31 2003
This review is from: As the Crow Flies (Mass Market Paperback)
Starting at the beginning of the 20 the century and across two world war's the book portrays the tragedy courage and triumph of a simple but honorable man called Charlie Trumper who starts out life as a vegetable seller in the east end of London and ends up as one of the most prominent people in the Churchill era .His quest to become a successful businessman is aided by Becky and Daphne. But unknown to Charlie someone is plotting revenge agents him.

For young Charlie Trumper the most important thing is to get his hands on the biggest burrow in the world. After the war when he returns he has to start over again on the quest to become a successful businessmen. Able to win the hearts of customers, he rapidly expands his business through the help of Becky and Daphne. But the past seems to follow him, when Charlie's only true love Becky falls in love with Guy Trentham a handsome war hero. As he continues on his mission he encounters another enemy Mrs. Trentham who is the Mother of Guy Trentham and will stop at nothing to take over the Trumper Empire.

In his own unique style Jeffrey Archer captures the details of each character in an immaculate detail. His attempt to inspire the reader through the characters that he portrays is successful. Even evil characters like Mrs. Trentham have been given the chance to explain the reasoning behind their actions. Like a converging spiral his storyline converges on the plot waiting for the last possible minute until revealing it. The appearance of new characters suddenly is perhaps the only negative factor towards the book.
