And Thereby Hangs A Tale BY JEFFREY ARCHER, PAN MACMILLAN, $44.99.
And Thereby Hangs A Tale is Jeffrey Archer’s sixth collection of short stories and, this time, he takes the reader on a global journey with stories set in England, Germany, Majorca, Italy and India.
One of the greatest strengths of the author’s stories are his wonderful, diverse characters. Here we meet a determined and beautiful young nurse looking for a way to ensure a more than comfortable future for herself, an obsessive art collector, a charming Irish real estate agent and an English tourist who gets a little more service than anticipated at a hotel on his last night in Italy … Of course, each tale contains a trademark Archer narrative twist (my favourite part!) and are all witty. This collection will leave old fans satisfied and new ones lining up for more.
