Kane and Abel, by Jeffrey Archer
By Peter on Jan 30, 2009 in Excellent book, Fiction Books, Jeffrey Archer, bestseller, book review
In Kane and Abel Jeffrey Archer tells the story of two men, one Polish, an illegitimate son of a gypsy, the other rich and privileged from a wealthy Boston 
banking family. Abel Rosnovski survives countless setbacks, emigrates to the US and builds a thriving hotel chain. William Kane inherits a powerful bank and makes it even more successful. Their paths cross only once, but the meeting causes them to become bitter enemies, each determined to destroy the other.
The rags to riches theme that figures prominently in this book is one that Jeffrey Archer specializes in. And if you mix it together with the competition element in Kane and Abel, you have the framework for a great story. And this story is just that – an interesting and imaginative story of fierce business competition, vast riches, and some nice human touches as well.
Kane and Abel is a real page turner, very exciting and full of interesting twists and turns. A clever book! In my opinion, Kane and Abel is one of the best of Jeffrey Archer’s books!
