This is an excellent sequel to the consummate novel, Kane and Abel. Archer once again is at his best. He remembers to interwine key details of the book with Kane and Abel, and the reader easily recalls the suspense and the pure entertainment of Kane and Abel in Prodigal Daughter. Jeffrey Archer molds Florentyna into one of the most memorable characters written. Not many authors would have dared to write a sequel to such a superb novel like Kane and Abel, but Jeffrey Archer willingly accepts the challenge. The result is The Prodigal Daughter, and it is one of the best novels ever written.

I loved this book. I first read Kane and Abel and throughly enjoyed it. As a die hard political junkie, I found this book even more delightful. Some have complained that Archer found it necessary to at times copy straight out of Kane and Abel. Of course, he had to. What was he to do - invent new dialogue? I found it interesting that he showed us the other side of the story in the Prodigial Daughter, especially the scenes where Richard and Florentyna must confront their fathers with the news of their love. In Kane and Abel, we saw it from Florentyna and Abel's points of view. In Prodigal Daughter, we saw it from Richard and William's points of view. Prodigal Daughter is a throughly captivating book with a surprise ending.

Is America ready for a female president? This sequel to the highly successful "Kane and Abel" explores that possibility as it follows the life of the only daughter of famous hotelier Abel Rosnovski. Florentyna Rosnovski, born into wealth and groomed to one day overtake a hotel empire, is a second generation American immigrant who has a falling out with her father after falling in love with the son of his fiercest enemy. Forced to make a fresh start on the West Coast, Florentyna combines her extreme intelligence and love of women's fashion to open her own chain of high class clothing boutiques. Upon Abel's death, she inherits a slew of hotels second-to-none in every corner of the globe and teams with husband Richard to ensure their continued success. Always possessing a vested interest in politics, it is only at the urging of a childhood friend that she enters into the spotlight as a public servant. Everything else, as they say, is American history. The book is insightful and entertaining but lacks the creativity and depth of its predecessor, with which it was sure to draw comparison. In fact, any "Kane and Abel" fan will be sorely disappointed and feel cheated during "Daughter", as Archer feels it necessary to repeat, in exact words, page after page, whole episodes and storylines previously penned in his original epic. It is only after Florentyna reaches adulthood and pushes the past behind that readers will become immersed in her struggle to be successful in both business and politics.

The book proves an excellent sequel to Kane and Abel
This books makes an excellent sequel to Kane and Abel but lacks some of the intensity and development that the former has.
