The "Clifton Chronicles" is Jeffrey Archer's most ambitious work in four decades as an international bestselling author. The epic tale of Harry Clifton's life begins in 1920, with the chilling words, 'I was told that my father was killed in the war'. But it will be another twenty years before Harry discovers how his father really died, which will only lead him to question: who was his father? Is he the son of Arthur Clifton, a stevedore who worked in Bristol docks, or the first born son of a scion of West Country society, whose family owns a shipping line? "Only Time Will Tell" covers the years from 1920 to 1940, and includes a cast of memorable characters that "The Times" has compared to "The Forsyte Saga". Volume one takes us from the ravages of the Great War to the outbreak of the Second World War, when Harry must decide whether to take up a place at Oxford, or join the navy and go to war with Hitler's Germany. In Jeffrey Archer's masterful hands, the reader is taken on a journey that they won't want to end, and when you turn the last page of this unforgettable yarn, you will be faced with a dilemma that neither you, nor Harry Clifton could have anticipated.

叙事的框架搭建得很纯熟,文笔也足见功力。情节不算出彩,但毕竟只是五部曲的开头,期待后面的四部能渐入佳境。

评分读了一个月,可能是作为序列的第一步,都用来交代背景了,所以故事也没有大的波澜,但能感觉-搞事情-的气息扑面而来,期待后面六本!

评分买回来后,每天抽时间,断断续续的,终于读完Jeffrey Archer的新作《Only Time Will Tell》。 一如他之前的作品,「Archer twist」是少不了的,但故事明显并未结局,三百八十多页只够为一连五集的The Clifton Chronicles揭开序幕。看过访问,JA说这系列应以每年一本的速度面世...
