I need an excuse to go into Rome tomorrow,’ he said, ‘because I’m meant to be meeting up with Harry.

Once the holds had been emptied, the dockers would load them with salt, apples, tin, even coal (my least favourite, because it was an obvious clue to what I’d been doing all day and annoyed my mother), before they set off again to I knew not where.But when the front door closed I stood by the drawing-room window and watched as the car disappeared down the driveway and out of sight. As he enters into adulthood, Harry finally learns how his father really died, but the awful truth only leads him to question, was he even his father?

Still, if you have already read any of his books, you know all this and are suitably entertained in that comfortable and undemanding way that you wish to experience again. Over dinner, Papa didn’t leave me in any doubt how keen he was that I should go to Eton and I nearly had a change of heart at the last moment, but I had given my word to Percy Bridport, and felt I couldn’t let him down. Story gets monotonous to the core, author could have simply finished the book in a trilogy manner but now there are 6 more books in the series, the plot is lost, the story too predictable. In The Short, The Long and The Tall the master storyteller joins forces with renowned illustrator Paul Cox, to re-imagine twenty of Jeffrey Archer's most popular and feted short stories alongside beautifully rendered watercolour illustrations.On ne peut que se précipiter pour lire la suite de ses ouvrages afin de savoir s’il existe une justice immanente. Filled with family secrets and stories of the different ways life can take us, this book was the great kick off to what promises to be an exciting series! Deep things to think about, deep character portrayal, lots of historical details are not what you will find served in this book. Especially the beginning of this historical family saga had me intrigued because it tells enchantingly about these three boys and their struggles on a boarding school.
