About this listen

Encompassing three continents and spanning over 60 years, best-selling author Jeffrey Archer's As the Crow Flies brings to life a magnificent tale of one man's rise from rags to riches set against the backdrop of a changing century.

Growing up in the slums of East End London, Charlie Trumper dreams of someday running his grandfather's fruit and vegetable barrow. That day comes suddenly when his grandfather dies leaving him the floundering business. With the help of Becky Salmon, an enterprising young woman, Charlie sets out to make a name for himself as "The Honest Trader". But the brutal onset of World War I takes Charlie far from home and into the path of a dangerous enemy whose legacy of evil follows Charlie and his family for generations.

This is my first audio book/novel. The narrator deftly brought each character to life, as well as embodied each sentiment and emotion. The story is quintessentially the stellar work I’ve always known Archer for. I give this book an easy 4.5 stars.

One of the longest hooks I have listened to- but loved it. Different perspectives brought lightness and curiosity …
I thought there might be tooo many characters in the beginning- but it sorted itself quickly. Will take on more of his books!

Incredible storyline
