As the Crow Flies . Jefferey Archer

An interesting story of a costermonger who rises from a greengrocer selling from a barrow to a war veteran to a shrewd businessman to a seeker of truth told by a master stroy teller Archer. As always, his humour is subtle and his plots strong. The story moves from character to another as they narrate their parts in the story. So, there are a few repetitions which gets a little tiring after some time, but when the story picks up momentum, one is forced to ignore this. What one likes about the story is the indefatigable spirit of the man, so typical of so many heroes in lands across the globe. That is the abiding memory of the story long after it is read.
