ONLY TIME WILL TELL

Author: Jeffrey Archer
Genre:  Fiction, The Clifton Chronicles #1
Published:  2011
Personal Rating:  3.5/5 (good)
Format/Narrator:  Audiobook/Roger Allam & Emelia Fox
Yearly Count:  8


Set in England, Only Time Will Tell is a family saga revolving around the Clifton clan in the 1920s - 40s.

Saga.  Saga.  Saga.  That's what I had to remember as I began this book.  Once I had my head around the idea that it was going to be slow going, I was able to just listen.  Ultimately, I actually thought it was good, maybe even a little better than good.  AND, I'm not opposed to picking up the second in this mini-series.  I definitely have to be in the right mood to listen to this type of book, though.

    1. Literary Feline ~ I prefer twists and turns, surprises and shocking revelations. :) This did have a little of that, but in a vey toned down manner.
