Kane and Abel is the marvellous story, spanning sixty years, of two powerful men linked by an all-consuming hatred, brought together by fate to save ... and finally destroy ... each other.
Jeffrey Archer's international bestseller is followed by the enthralling sequel, The Prodigal Daughter.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Jeffrey Archer weaves real-world events and people into his deeply satisfying story of two ambitious men born on opposite sides of the globe. American blue-blood Kane and Polish enigma Abel are cut from the same cloth, despite their wildly different upbringings in the early 20th century; they grow into men of fierce determination as times change thanks to two world wars and a stock market crash. Archer, a British baron, has a gift for dry, witty prose that makes his heroes’ decades-spanning rivalry that much more compelling.
Customer Reviews
Just as good
I read this book 20 years ago and is still just as good today. A great, light, enjoyable read.
The best book I have ever read.
A masterpiece that trumps everything that I have ever read and I was a Harry Potter fanatic.
Jeffrey Archer is a genius.
One to remember
Amazing amazing read. Something that you just can't put down. I've had Archer on my parents' bookshelf forever, but I've never picked him up because I thought his writing would be a little inaccessible. Boy was I wrong. This is a beautifully written book, sumptuously woven in a bit of history. Utter perfection.
