Loved, loved, loved this second installment of Archers Clifton Chronicles. Being already invested in these characters enabled me to enjoy this even more than the first. Movin' on to book three View 1 comment. Mar 27, Barbara rated it liked it. Turns out Emma's father - shipping heir Hugo Barrington - probably sired Harry as well, back in the days when Harry's mother was an impulsive young woman.
His ship was sunk and Harry was rescued by a U. When an American sailor named Tom Bradshaw died, Harry - wanting to escape his family drama - assumed Bradshaw's identity. This was a mistake! A powerful attorney named Sefton Jelks, who has a secret agenda, arranges a plea deal and Harry is sentenced to six years in prison.
While he's incarcerated Harry makes friends with a fellow inmate, deals with a sadistic guard, works in the prison library, keeps a diary, and is a model prisoner Meanwhile, back in England Emma Barrington gives birth to Harry's son. She also figures out that Harry might not be dead and - leaving the baby with relatives - goes to New York to investigate.
Emma is an exceptionally clever, resourceful woman who finds out what she needs to know I love Emma!! Concurrently, Maisie Clifton Harry's mother works in a hotel restaurant and enrolls in classes to learn how to read and write. In the course of the story Maisie deals with Stan - her vicious bully of a brother; and Hugo Barrington - who's determined to buy the bombed out lot that once housed Maisie's tea shop.
Maisie also acquires a couple of very respectable admirers. Giles turn out to be a brave and capable soldier whose experiences on the battlefield - and in a POW camp - are impressive and compelling. As for Hugo Barrington - he's still a ruthless, selfish man who lies, cheats, steals, and uses people. Hugo would do anything to get his way, even if it hurts his own family. The story contains a variety of interesting secondary characters, including: a prison warden; a literary agent; a book publisher; a butcher; a teacher; Emma's New York relatives; a Polish aristocrat; a private detective; German officers; and more.
By the end of the book there's a question about the rightful heir to the Barrington title and fortune: Is it Hugo's legitimate son Giles; or Hugo's presumably illegitimate son Harry? This is the cliffhanger that ends the narrative. The book has a sort of 'fairy tale' vibe since the 'good guys' - though they face much uncertainty and hardship - generally prevail. And the 'bad guys' - who tend to be stereotypes brutal bully; unscrupulous lawyer; greedy businessmen; etc. In addition, who would believe Harry, who has an upper-class British accent, is an American?
Still, I like the story so I'm willing to suspend disbelief a little. View all 4 comments. Jul 23, Nancy rated it it was amazing Shelves: audible. Jeffrey Archer is the best at leaving you hanging and forcing you to buy his next book. I love this story. His characters wrap through history in this case WW II.
When we last left Harry and Giles Harry was presumed dead and buried at sea. Emma has had Harry's son but she just cannot accept Harry is really dead. Indeed he is not as that was another loose end from the last book. He had taken the name and identity of an american sailor who was actually the one that died and was buried at sea.
Well unbeknownst Harry Tom Bradshaw is suspected of killing his brother. View all 8 comments. I am really enjoying this series. I love the characters the women are just awesome , the family dynamics, the WWII period, all of it. Archer does like to leave you hanging, though, at the end of each book! It being a series, I'm afraid anything I say will be spoilerish if you haven't read book 1 yet, so I'll just say that if you are considering starting another series, look into this one, t I am really enjoying this series.

Lord Archer I do believe it's time to stop writing. The good people are classless, brave, ingenious and courageous whereas the bad ones are class-conscious, inept, upper-class arrogant berks. They are just rehashes of all the old books. If this keeps going on you might take Chetan Bhagat's place in my heart! We have read it a million times before; the lower-class kid who excels at everything and befriends the Lord Archer I do believe it's time to stop writing.
We have read it a million times before; the lower-class kid who excels at everything and befriends the upper-class lad whose life he transforms, how the Brits stuck it to the Germans, how the Brits are different from the Yanks. I can't explain how disappointed I was with the book. WHew…but what next. I am totally addicted to English authors…. Thank you JA for all your books. I do say the readers on CD make the books come so personally alive. What a whirlwind in this book….
As always, the characters are wonderful, the good ones totally likable, the bad super sinister and as bad as you can get! So happy to see Sir Hugo get what he deserved. The Sins of the Father Book 2 Recap Only days before Britain declares war on Germany, our hero, Harry Clifton, hoping to escape the consequences of the truth about his father, and forced to accept that he will never be free to marry Emma Barrington, has run away and joined the Merchant Navy.
Nancy Ellis says:. Was eagerly waiting for this book from Jeffrey Archer. He is the in my books the best writer in playing with the readers brain , a quality that many writers this day dont possessed. Hope he delivers many more hits like this. Thank you Flipkart for the delivery in 2 business days as promised. Lima Sungba Certified Buyer.
Brilliantly written book. Jeffrey Archer has outdone himself in presenting a book which is engrossing to the tee. Impeccably written book which doesnt let the reader go off the hook for even a second. Perfect material for a big screen adaptation. Must buy for all lovers of thrillers and Archerians!
When I read the first book of the Cliftons Chronicle, I was a tad disappointed and restless as it left so many questions unanswered. With the second book, Archer successfully ups the ante and leaves you with even more suspense than the first book, only this time, the reader awaits in anticipation. The characters are etched out reasonably well but I had the feeling that he could have perhaps spent some more time in bringing out the emotional turmoil of the characters.
Nevertheless, it is a typ Nupur Singh Certified Buyer. There is nothing new to say about the literary works of Jeffrey Archer. The superb usage of the language adds an extra essence to the story.
