Mi-ja and Young-sook, two girls living on the Korean island of Jeju, are best friends that come from very different backgrounds. When they are old enough, they begin working in the sea with their village’s all-female diving collective, led by Young-sook’s mother. As the girls take up their positions as baby divers, they know they are beginning a life of excitement and responsibility but also danger.

It was much too long .
Revisado: 08-04-23
I loved the story but really struggled to keep going on and on and on.
It needed an editor with a sharp pencil.
I loved the sister books but this one became painful towards the end, Something should be left to the imagination .

Life is short - no one knows that better than 17-year-old Lenni Petterssen. On the Terminal Ward, the nurses are offering their condolences already, but Lenni still has plenty of living to do. When she meets 83-year-old Margot Macrae, a fellow patient offering new friendship and enviable artistic skills, Lenni's life begins to soar in ways she'd never imagined. As their bond deepens, a world of stories opens up: of wartime love and loss, of misunderstanding and reconciliation, of courage, kindness and joy.

The fateful first meeting of Enza and Ciro takes place amid the haunting majesty of the Italian Alps at the turn of the last century. Still teenagers, they are separated when Ciro is banished from his village and sent to hide in New York's Little Italy, apprenticed to a shoemaker, leaving a bereft Enza behind. But when her own family faces disaster, she, too, is forced to emigrate to America. Though destiny will reunite the star-crossed lovers, it will, just as abruptly, separate them once again....

Relistened to it after a few years
Revisado: 03-29-16
I listened to it again a few years later because I enjoyed it so much the first time. It is a good, well written story with well foemed characters but it could be impoved by being shorter and with a faster pace. Well researched and well worth the read.

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 twenty years before Harry discovers how his father really died, which will only lead him to question: who was his father?

These are not individual books!
Revisado: 05-12-14
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.

Always leave a little salt on the bread. Ikey Solomon's favorite saying is also his way of doing business, and in the business of thieving he's very successful indeed. Ikey's partner in crime is his mistress, the forthright Mary Abacus, until misfortune befalls them. They are parted and each must make the harsh journey from thriving nineteenth century London to the convict settlement of Van Diemen's Land.
