Publisher's Summary
As the Crow Flies is an epic rags to riches tale from Jeffrey Archer, author of the bestselling The Clifton Chronicles.
If your dream is big enough, not even your enemies can stop you . . .
Charlie Trumper's earliest memory is of hearing his grandfather's sales patter from behind his costermonger's barrow. When Grandpa Charlie dies, young Charlie wants nothing more than to follow in his footsteps – his burning ambition is to own a shop that will sell everything: 'The Biggest Barrow in the World'.
Charlie's progress from the teeming streets of Whitechapel to the elegance of Chelsea Terrace is only a few miles as the crow flies. But in Jeffrey Archer's expert hands it becomes an epic journey through the triumphs and disasters of the century, as Charlie follows a thread of love, ambition and revenge to fulfil the dream his grandfather inspired.

Overperformed
Love this story. I have read it several times over the years. Unfortunately I did not enjoy the performance. The accents (especially the upper class women) were overplayed and became too unpleasant to listen to.

Another good Jeffrey Archer yarn
I did enjoy this story despite it being a little long winded occasionally. As usual Archer gave a few twists throughout plus a beauty at the end even it it did become anticipated.

Enjoyable
I really enjoyed most of this story. It was a little too full of people in the middle, but then improved muchly. The ending was exciting and satisfying.
