I've always liked Jeffrey Archer's books. In the UK, there are a bunch of people who have it in for him (and it's true that he's done some questionable things). What is not in question, though, is that he tells a rattling good yarn. If you loved Kane and Abel and some of his early work, you will love Only Time Will Tell. Told from the perspectives of the people in the main character's life, it's the story of Harry Clifton, a boy whose parentage is mysterious, who has a beautiful soprano voice and who rises from humble beginnings to get a good education. Just when it looks like everything is going right, the secret of his birth is partly revealed, with devastating consequences. The book ends on a cliffhanger, paving the way for book two in the planned trilogy, due March 2012. I can't' wait! Highly recommended!
