Only Time Will Tell
Jeffrey Archer
This is not the typical page turner. Only Time Will Tell moves at a sedate pace like an aristocratic carriage in a procession.
Harry Clifton, the only son of a waitress, grows up in the years between the two World Wars. Five people influence his life. Old Jack a war hero, Barrington an unwilling participant, Emma an awkward sister, Giles his dear friend, and Maisie his able and determined mother.
As each member tells his/her part of the story your perspective keeps changing. And even after the story is over you keep wondering about Harry and the turns his life will take now.
Jeffrey Archer throws in snippets of interesting information during drawing room conversations, class room discussions and friendly arguments giving you the feel of the era. (Thanks to extensive research)
This book is not a must-read, but definitely a book that will keep you entertained.

Only time will tell written by Jeffrey Archer is a good book. The plot drags at some places especially in giving the life of the characters, but it is fairly readable. The book may not be the best of Jeffrey Archer's but it is definitely a good one.
