Publisher's Summary
The Clifton Chronicles is Jeffrey Archer’s most ambitious work in four decades as an international best-selling author. The epic tale of Harry Clifton’s life begins in 1920, with the chilling words, ‘I was told that my father was killed in the war.’ But it will be another 20 years before Harry discovers how his father really died, which will only lead him to question: who was his father? Is he the son of Arthur Clifton, a stevedore who worked in Bristol docks, or the first born son of a scion of West Country society, whose family owns a shipping line?
Only Time Will Tell covers the years from 1920 to 1940, and includes a cast of memorable characters that The Times has compared to The Forsyte Saga. Volume One takes us from the ravages of the Great War to the outbreak of the Second World War, when Harry must decide whether to take up a place at Oxford, or join the navy and go to war with Hitler’s Germany.

A ripping yarn
Archer carries a narrative strongly and this ripping yarn is no exception. However he presents his characters descriptively -- we see their actions and hear their words rather than clearly picture them or understand their (repressed) emotions. This is underscored by allowing different protagonists to take up various threads of the story. His women are somewhat cliched nineteenth / early twentieth heroines as they play their roles as martyr, lover, upholder of what is Strong and True. But that works ok -- and, after all, it is is set in the first half of last century. Archer does make us care what happens to his characters and of course he creates compelling twists and turns in the plot. The sequel will be eagerly awaited. The readers were first rate.

These are not individual books!
Would you try another book from Jeffrey Archer and/or Roger Allam and Emilia Fox ?
After Kain and Abel always - these books are drawn out incomplete sequals, not complete books and as such boring and VERY pricey for a very average drawn out story. NO I have no interest in hearing the rest of it.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Am already listening to Ken Wilber and reading Jojo Moyos
What aspect of Roger Allam and Emilia Fox ’s performance would you have changed?
The performance was OK, the storyline is the problem
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Only Time Will Tell: Clifton Chronicles, Book 1?
The whole book needs a 20-40% or more condensation, too drawn out and painful.
Any additional comments?
My last Jeffrey Archer! - life is too short to read this.

Not his best ever
What did you like best about Only Time Will Tell: Clifton Chronicles, Book 1? What did you like least?
The story is about an old theme of his in a new coat.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Not his follow up from this series.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
So, so. Little bit dull.
Do you think Only Time Will Tell: Clifton Chronicles, Book 1 needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No. It will be much of the same.
Any additional comments?
No.

Great saga
What did you like best about this story?
I love family stories and sagas, this once was a great one! Comparable to Ken Follett...
Who was the most memorable character of Only Time Will Tell: Clifton Chronicles, Book 1 and why?
Old Jack Tar - it's nice to have an old misunderstood-by-most type of character
Any additional comments?
Sometimes I had the feeling that some parts of the book where missing - like a sentence stopping in the middle (but didn't impede the understanding of the book, and only happened once or twice at the beginning), but this problem would be due to technical issues, and not the story in itself.

Great story-telling
Jeffrey Archer certainly knows how to tell a story that keeps you listening and wanting to know more. It's a bit like a modern fairy story with set-backs and triumphs for the hero. We are told the story through the eyes of the main characters who tell us in turn their view of what happens as Harry grows from boy to manhood in the period from just after the First World War to the outbreak of the Second in 1939. There's quite a bit of period detail of life at this time sprinkled with historical facts that add to narrative. There's a certain old fashioned charm about the book that makes a pleasant change from all the modern detective fiction I've been reading/listening to recently. I can't wait for the next book in this story of Harry Clifton as this book ends on a cliff-hanger.
The two readers are very good. Roger Allam has a lovely gravelly voice that is a pleasure to listen to and he's pretty good at different accents.

A Surprise
I really enjoyed this book, the narration is excellent, and although the story isn't my usual reading material - I was absolutely gripped, and like some other reviewers I am now thinking - 'My goodness! How long must I wait for the next instalment?'
The characters were brilliantly drawn and I loved the way the storytelling switches between the main characters and one sees the story from differing points of view.
I enjoyed Jeffrey Archer's original books and bought this on the strength of those, however when I found that the story was of a different genre I was initially disappointed - but how wrong I was.
I really cared what happened in the lives of the characters, and cannot wait for the existing 'cliff-hanger' to be explained.

Jeffrey Archer is just a master at storytelling. He shapes the characters brilliantly and I particularly enjoyed the perspectives from each main character's point of view.
Some reviewers have expressed disappointment in the ending - clearly more will be revealed in Book 2! Please deliver it via Audible as soon as it's published.

Can't wait for the next book
Have avoided this author previously as being a bit too mainstream and predictable - only ever seen TV versions of his novels - I am definitely chastened. A really good read with well drawn characters and a twist in the tail. (Have I heard that somewhere before?) Archer may write to a predictable format, but this is a good story. Shall be looking forward to the next episode.

The other side of the story
The story takes you on a journey viewing the lives of the characters from many angles. Each character's view point either 'fills in the gaps' for the questions you want answered, or leaves you more intrigued. At the start there are several characters who go on to be pivotal to the life that Harry leads. However, just when you think others cannot make a difference, they make an appearance and change your thoughts on what may or may not happen. You often find yourself planning ahead in your mind for what you think is going to happen, only to be thrown a 'curved ball'. A great story that becomes impossible to stop. Is there, Can there be, a sequel?

Kept me interested!
The male narrator was a little bland, and some aspects of the story were a bit hard to believe but overall I enjoyed it.

Brilliant story. Hooked line and sinker.
The narrators are to be highly recommended. I look forward to the next Clayton Chronicles.

wish I never heard this book.
Would you listen to Only Time Will Tell again? Why?
I wish I never read this book so I can experience it again for the first time. If this was the only story I was allowed to listen to for the rest of my life (including the rest of the books) id be extremely happy.
What did you like best about this story?
The story line, the plot and the endless twists keep you glued to your head phones and you honestly can lose time from this.
The cliffhangers are just juicy enough to keep you coming back for more and more but not too juicy as to leave you frustrated.
You can form a connection with nearly all the characters and can love and hate with them. Just a captivating book with very satifying story lines that leave you smiling when justice is served to a hated character and leave you crying when something horrible happens to the main characters.
What about Roger Allam and Emilia Fox ’s performance did you like?
The narrators truly do the book justice by painting the picture and expressions of characters for you.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
If I had 12 hours in a day to listen to a book this would be it
Any additional comments?

second listen and still loved it!!!
Love Jeffrey Archer and the Clifton series. Second time listening to the first book and it is even better the second time around. This series is a new favourite of mine and I think everyone needs to give it a listen!!! The books just get better and better each time. I do enjoy the performance, both Emilia and aroger are great! However, now that I hace heared books 2-6, I prefer Alex Jennings in his readings of the other books in the series.
The only shame with auidble for this series js that it seems to sometimes cut off mid sentence. Very bizarre
