Excellent Story To Keep You Reading
This was my first Jeffrey Archer novel. The reason I wanted to start reading Archer novels was because he is known to be a good story teller and this is what I felt I needed in a book at the time. Once I started reading this book I became gripped... I have no massive interest in politics but this isn't a factor when reading such a great story. You become involved with Florentyna's life and although there was no time where I was in suspense or anything like that I couldn't put the thing down. If you're looking for a great story without having to really concentrate on loads of things then is is an excellent book. The most important thing that this book did for me was a) it kept me reading and b) it made me want to read more Archer novels. What more could you want? An excellent read and I reccommend it to everybody. The Prodigal Daughter is a fine book.

While not the most excellent Archer, well worth the read.
This is a well written Archer, which displays some sound research and understanding of the system and of Poland, from where the main character hails. Archer seems obsessed with first sexual experiances, and in commmon with "As the crow flies" and "First among Equals"

However the plot takes two spheres, the ploitical and Socail life of Floyrentina. It ties the plot of Kane and Abel togehter.

Worth a read, but not a classic.

Typical Archer, Masterpiece
The way he writes is so exciting that you just want to carry on. Many times when he wants to say something he hints the opposite and the way he reveals it is just masterful.
