About This Item

In very good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.

The latest short-story collection from the master storyteller. The fourteen - all new - stories show Jeffrey Archer's great skills with a wide variety of character, of subject and of setting, but all with that trademark twist in the tail.

Every reader will have their own favourites: the choices run from love at first sight across the train tracks to the cleverest of confidence tricks, from the quirks of the legal profession - and those who are able to manipulate both sides of the Bar - to the creative financial talents of a member of Her Majesty's diplomatic service - but for a good cause. One of the most intriguing describes a woman who only appears to her lover every six years. And one of the most powerful - almost a fable - is the story of a wealthy man who declares himself bankrupt in order to discover which of his family and friends will support him - only to be shocked by the results. The last story, 'The Grass is Always Greener', is possibly the best piece Archer has written, and will haunt you for the rest of your life.

To Cut a Long Story Short is Jeffrey Archer's fourth story collection and shows him at the top of his form. It is a wonderfully satisfying read, and it is fascinating to discover how many of the stories are based on true incidents that the author has witnessed or about which he has been told.
