When Charlie Trumper inherits his grandfather's fruit and vegetable barrow, he inherits as well his enterprising spirit, which quickly lifts him out of poverty in London's East End. Success, however, does not come easily or quickly, particularly when World War I sends Charlie into combat and into an ongoing struggle with a vengeful enemy who will not rest until Charlie is destroyed. Charlie Trumper's epic journey carries him across three continents and through the triumphs and disasters of the twentieth century, all leading toward the fulfillment of his greatest dream.
From School Library Journal
YA-- A coming-of-age story set in London's East End at the turn of the century. Charlie Trumper idolizes his grandfather, who sells fruits and vegetables from a barrow. He hopes to follow in the man's footsteps and eventually own a big, grand shop. However, World War I interrupts his plans. He learns the value of friendship during the war, but also makes an enemy of Guy Trentham who, with his mother, spends his life seeking revenge and trying to destroy Charlie's dreams. Family intrigue, corporate mergers, romance, villains, and heroes all intertwine to make a fast-moving tale, punctuated with history, mystery, and a refreshing ending in which the good guy wins. --Katherine Fitch, Thomas Jefferson Sci-Tech, Fairfax County, VA

This is the only book that I have read more than once. And I'm positive that I'll read it again. This novel grabs your heart and soul from page one and takes you on an unbelievable ride! You'll emerge from this book grasping for breath, wondering where you've been for the last couple of days.
The story is of a boy who grows from running a vegetable and fruit stand to a man who owns a huge, huge, store. Its the story of a young man's struggle to climb up in life; the story of a man's pain that comes with life's difficult turns; the story of a man's joys as dreams are realized; the story of a man's experience with humanity.
Your heart will grow jealous with Charley's, your spirit will suffer blows along with Charley's, your life will be fulfilled when Charley's does. This book is a tale without boundaries, it's the story of all of our lives. Buy it, you'll love it.

But I will try.
The sweeping and panoramic viewpoints that accompany this novel, just start the incredible journey that the reader is taken through in the lives of these characters.
Archer creates beleiveable and loveable characters, incredible plot twists, and a fluid shifting of viewpoints; incorporating all this together makes for one of the best novels ever.
The readers interest grows as the character do, the characters are introduced as young children, so you can imagine how much love and admiration the reader will have for the character when the book ends and they are in their 70's.
The book encompasses such a range of human emotions, all leading to making this book so believable and lovable. Love, hate, jealousy, everything is in this novel.
By even calling this book a novel might be wrong from the start. It is more of a saga of the life of Charlie Trumper and his loved ones, foes, nemesis and family.
His drive and ambition make him the favorite main character, but the reader gets even more in touch with him through the viewpoints of other characters.
My hat is off to Jeffrey Archer, to put a book together of this magnitude was quite an undertaking I am sure. The precision and attention to detail that he uses in writing these novels is breathtaking, please read this book to understand.
Do not be daunted by the length, after reading a few pages, you won't even realize how long it is until you finish it, and you wished it was even longer.

It's 2:15 o'clock in the morning and I've finished the book in two days starting yesterday and going to work with tired eyes today and tomorrow too - but once you start to read the book you can't stop turning the pages! If you have'nt read it - get hold of it. But do yourself a favour and save it for a holiday. So you don't have to go to work with a bad concience the next day.
