![]() Archer, through his vivid descriptions and elaborate storyline, leaves nothing to the imagination. ![]() ![]() William Kane Lowell, a Boston Banker, and Abel Rosnovski, the illegitimate son of a Polish baron, are the two protagonists of the story. They have parallel but contrasting stories from boyhood both prove themselves extraordinary and sympathetic, with a passion for success. Reminiscing about my early reading days and looking for an interesting and fun read, I was immediately drawn to the book and soon settled into a Jeffrey Archer paperback after 15 years. After a week of some dry and slow reading (here’s looking at you Bill Bryson and Virginia Woolf), I noticed Kane and Abel sitting on my bookshelf under the To-Be-Read section. ![]() This was fifteen years ago.Ĭut to present. I was amazed at Archer’s way with words and his ability to keep me engaged with every twist and turn. I do not remember the book, but the story was a riveting tale of love, loss, jealousy, and deceit. Jeffrey Archer was one of the first books in that category. In those early years, I went through Enid Blyton and Hardy Boys collection, and by the time I stepped into my teens, I was ready for the grown-up stuff. I fell in love with reading around the age of ten. ![]()
