I bought this novel yesterday even though it has been published more than almost 10 years ago.Somehow,it missed my reading radar even though I am a fan of Sir Jeffrey Archer.As the they say,it better late than never.Thanks to Marina and Col Azudin for their recommendations.
After reading the first chapter last night,I believe it is going to be an interesting read for me.The narrative was great and very English.I have been to White Chapel and Covent Garden -the two places mentioned in the first chapter.
One lesson learned is about a trust was given based on family reputation.The trust was given even to a young boy because of his grandfather being a man of trustworthy.This reminded me of my late father...
Another interesting note I wish to make is Charlie,the young boy wanted to enter into a business like his grandpa-to own the biggest barrow in the world.In a similar manner,my youngest son,a 21 years old boy is undergoing his apprenticeship under his dad's guidance, insyaAllah.
By the way, distance from Bangi to Putrajaya is only a few kilometres as the crow flies... just like from White Chapel to Chelsea Terrace.
