1918 November 11th two babies were born. Same village and poles apart. The Earl had a daughter Eve, and his head shepherd had a son Adam. How the two paths were destined to cross from a very young age to adulthood is this epic story.
Almost fairy tale, a romance that just could not be Adam and Eve became a couple extraordinaire. Overcoming social barriers was one, that is outsiders had the problem, not them. Adam’s meteoric rise during the war, his valiant efforts as an officer and his untimely death are the story. Eve’s story battling on in the face of adversity, her fathers murder and the devil within the family, betraying them and the country was hard to take.
Jeffrey Archer’s final masterpiece and what a story. Historical fiction interwoven with a real story at its best.
