As ever with Jeffrey Archer this is a good yarn with plenty to keep you interested regarding the life of Harry Clifton. Jeffrey Archer has covered this territory many times before, the rags to riches or success story and he tells it well.The novel is part of the Clifton Chronicles and I believe that there will be two more to follow this first instalment. Only Time Will Tell has been left with a bit of a cliff-hanger.
This novel details the early life (up to his University years) of Harry Clifton born to a mother who had relationships with two men at the time. She is unsure who the father is. However one could have been effectively killed by the other. The prospective father who is still alive is rich and the father of Harry's best friend. This brings numerous complications and conflicts in the book. Some of these matters get resolved, but others remain as loose ends for future instalments.

I will be reading the next instalment that is for sure as I want to know what happens to Harry from 1939 when this novel leaves off.
8/10 for me.
