Product Information

Colin Powell was the inspiration. His mother Maude, a seamstress from Jamaica, wanted a better life and couldn’t make up her mind whether to set out for the US or UK, and I became fascinated by the concept of what would have happened to the former US Secretary of State if he’d come to Britain. Would he have become a field marshal or the foreign secretary? I doubt it. Never let it be said that Jeffrey Archer doesn't tell a good story. This is another very readable novel from him, there's nothing new or groundbreaking and yes you will get slight deja vu if you've read all his previous novels but so what? Sometimes I just want to turn my brain off and delve into a good story. Robert as has been a stylist and Rey'ne a salon coordinator since opening in 1980.

In a single moment, a double twist decides Alexander’s future. During an epic tale, spanning two continents and thirty years, we follow Alexander through triumph and defeat as he sets out on parallel lives, as Alex in New York and Sasha in London. As this unique story unfolds, both come to realize that to find their destiny they must face the past they left behind as Alexander in Russia. In fact, thanks to his goalkeeping and math skills, Sasha lives something of a charmed life, despite discovering the trouble that a privileged kid can cause for a Russian immigrant. A bit of adversity, however, doesn’t prevent Sasha from helping his mother move over the course of time from chef to acclaimed restaurant owner. The unbelievable success that the characters find actually fly against realities and make this book little more than a complicated fairy tale. Unlike, Kate Atkinson who uses the results of differing paths in LIFE AFTER LIFE with great skill, I found this book to be more of a muddle, using lots of confusing Russian names and fantasies, which constantly strained my credulity.The final ending when it is hinted that both versions were in route at the same time was a let down. It was all down hill from there. No,” admitted his father, his eyes never leaving the board. “They’re rarer than a virgin on Nevsky Prospect.” Archer has merged real life incidents and politics so well with this fictional character that you begin to wonder if this is fiction at all or a true story! His knowledge and grasp on politics and his master story telling make an immensely satisfying read. The narration makes you want to keep reading and get lost in the plot. This one is another winner by Archer. Highly recommended! I really wanted to love this book because I loved The Clifton Chronicles Series, but unfortunately, I didn't enjoy as much as I hoped.

In my younger years, I could keep up with your logic. You made me work for this one. I loved every line of it I would have given it the other ½ star except I kept having to re-read lines to understand what was going on and like I said parts were a bit confusing. But certainly worth the read. Jeffrey Archer knows his history of politics in Britain and business in America. Which gives this story an appeal like no other. Trials and tribulations, love with wrong then right, unsavory characters and men of honor.

Write about what you know – you don’t have to follow trends and write a murder just because the genre is popular. There are two ships, two choices: England or the United States. He flips a coin. So where does he go? Archer imagines both fates, splitting Alexander in two and exploring both lives. In half of the novel, Alex and Elena travel to the United States. In the other half, Sasha and Elena disembark in England. Sasha’s voyage is more pleasant than Alex’s, perhaps because British seamen more civilized than Americans, but both versions of Alexander manage to survive and prosper, combining their natural talent with hard work to forge successful lives in their adopted countries. This is a novel well worth reading. Lots of action combined with lots to think about. I did find it sometimes disconcerting to move from the protagonist’s life given one choice versus his life given the other choice. There were a couple of very short paragraphs towards the end of the book that seemed to undermine the basic premise of the story. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this book.
