From the internationally bestselling author of Kane and Abel and A Prisoner of Birth comes an ambitious new series that chronicles the life of one family across generations and oceans, filled with heartbreak and triumph. The epic tale begins in 1920 with Harry Clifton, a dock worker in Bristol, who has always been told his father was killed in the war. As he learns about life on the docks from his uncle, who expects him to join the shipyard after school, an unexpected scholarship to an exclusive boys’ school changes his life forever. As Harry matures, he uncovers the truth about his father's death, leading him to question his own identity. Is he the son of Arthur Clifton, a lifelong stevedore, or the firstborn of a wealthy shipping family? This introductory novel in Archer’s series, The Clifton Chronicles, features a vibrant cast and spans from the aftermath of the Great War to the onset of the Second World War. Harry faces a pivotal choice: accept a place at Oxford or enlist in the navy to fight against Hitler’s Germany. From the working-class docks of England to the vibrant streets of 1940 New York City, this journey sets the stage for future volumes, revealing a family saga that neither Harry nor the readers could have ever anticipated.
