Helpful Score: 1
Very well written. Told from different points of view at different times, the author pulls you into this family's story.
Poor Charlie Trumper inherits his grandfather's fruit and vegetable barrow. Success does not easy but Charley has a perservering trait that keeps him going for the gold
Jeffrey Archer at his best.
This is a rags to riches story. It's also a story about tragedy, courage and triumph. And as always with Jeffrey Archer, you will never guess the ending. He will surprise you and make this reading experience one you'll long savor.
The Honest Trader---Charlie Trumper goes from inheriting a fruit and vegetable stand to a department store empire.
Archer is a master storyteller. You will care about the characters, relate to them, cheer them and hiss at the villian. This is a long book. This makes it possible to look forward to reading time for many days.
A certified page-turner!
I liked this book, however, it is a bit long. If you stick with it is a very good book.
This is a larger book 789 pages, but it's the story of one man Charlie Trumper and his grandfather's fruit stand and his enterprising spirit. This book covers three continents and from the years of 1900 to 1970.
a young london boy rises from poverty to riches by his own hard work and ambition....a great read!
Excellent read, lot's of subplots, and twists.
Very good book. Follows a family and it's bloodline.
Another Jeffrey Archer masterpiece! "An epic journey through the triumphs and disasters of the twentieth century, following a thread of love, ambtion and revenge that leads across three continents as Charlie struggles to fulfill the dream his grandfather inspired."
