The Clifton Chronicles: Only Time Will Tell by Jeffrey Archer ****

This was recommended to me by Sandy Weeks, and I read this first volume in two days. It's an easy read, but a good story, told by Maisie Clifton, her son Harry, Hugo Barrington, who may be Harry's father, Giles Barrington, who is Harry's best friend,and Emma Barrington, the woman he falls in love with, old Jack Tar, Harry's friend from the dockyards and his mentor.

The plot is also good, with lots of angles, and even though I wish Joyce Carol Oates had written this, because it would have been deeper and darker, I was thoroughly entertained.

On the volume two, The Sins Of The Father.
