About this listen
As the Crow Flies is an epic rags to riches tale from Jeffrey Archer, author of the bestselling The Clifton Chronicles.
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.

Great story, one of my favourite loved it in audio
My only criticism is, being Australian, I wish the Australian characters accents were more accurate.

Really loved the plot Jeffrey Archer does twists so well. Loved the main character as much as I disliked the old villain!

Another good Jeffrey Archer yarn
I did enjoy this story despite it being a little long winded occasionally. As usual Archer gave a few twists throughout plus a beauty at the end even it it did become anticipated.

Enthralling story across the decades
Enthralled with all the characters . Loved the story telling of each in periods. Maybe just a little too dramatic with plane hold ups but could not stop listen. Well done.

This story invited you into the lives of the characters so much so that you felt you were part of their lives

Arguably the best Jeffrey Archer
This story is amazing! The detail and character development is very believable.
Only downside. The performer, mistakes a South African accent for Australian.
That aside, I thoroughly recommend this book.
