👀 Perfect For
Fans of epic family sagas and emotionally rich historical fiction
The epic tale of Harry Clifton's life begins in 1920, with the chilling words, I was told that my father was killed in the war'. But it will be another twenty years before Harry discovers how his father really died, which will only lead him to question: who was his father?

Is he the son of Arthur Clifton, a stevedore who worked in Bristol docks, or the first born son of a scion of West Country society, whose family owns a shipping line?

Only Time will Tell covers the years from 1920 to 1940, and includes a cast of memorable characters that The Times has compared to The Forsyte Saga. Volume one takes us from the ravages of the Great War to the outbreak of the Second World War, when Harry must decide whether to take up a place at Oxford, or join the navy and go to war with Hitler's Germany.

In Jeffrey Archer's masterful hands, the reader is taken on a journey that they won't want to end, and when you turn the last page of this unforgettable yarn, you will be faced with a dilemma that neither you, nor Harry Clifton could have anticipated.

About the Author:

Jeffrey Archer doesn’t just write twists—he lives them. From politics to prison to publishing stardom, his life story reads like... well, one of his own bestsellers! Born in London in 1940, Jeffrey went from Olympic hopeful to Member of Parliament to one of the world’s top-selling authors—with a few jaw-dropping plot turns in between.

Known for his razor-sharp storytelling and cliffhangers that refuse to let you sleep, Jeffrey Archer has written everything from the epic Clifton Chronicles saga to one-off thrillers like Kane and Abel (a total page-turning classic). His characters are clever, bold, and usually juggling power, secrets, and just a bit of betrayal.

But don’t let the suits and politics fool you—Archer’s real superpower is storytelling that grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go. Whether he’s writing about business battles, courtroom drama, or backroom deals, his books are fast-paced, fabulously detailed, and full of those “wait—what just happened?!” moments we live for.

If you're after gripping drama, smart plots, and characters you’ll love (or love to hate), Jeffrey Archer delivers every single time.
