Book description
If your dream is big enough, not even your enemies can stop you . . .
Charlie Trumper's earliest memory is of hearing his grandfather's sales
patter from behind his costermonger's barrow. When Grandpa Charlie dies,
young Charlie wants nothing more than to follow in his footsteps -- his
burning ambition is to own a shop that will sell everything: 'The
Biggest Barrow in the World'. Charlie's progress from the teeming
streets of Whitechapel to the elegance of Chelsea Terrace is only a few
miles as the crow flies. But in Jeffrey Archer's expert hands it becomes
an epic journey through the triumphs and disasters of the century, as
Charlie follows a thread of love, ambition and revenge to fulfil the
dream his grandfather inspired. Jeffrey Archer, whose novels and short
stories include
Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less
, Kane and Abel
and A Twist in the Tale
, has topped the bestseller lists around the world, with sales of over
210 million copies. Paths of Glory
, his most recent novel, was a global number one bestseller and remained
on the Sunday Times bestseller list for ten weeks. The author is married
with two children, and lives in London and Cambridge. www.
