About this listen

Engrossing and memorable, The Sins of the Father is the second novel in international bestseller Jeffrey Archer’s celebrated The Clifton Chronicles. It takes us to New York in 1939 where our hero Harry Clifton is in desperate need of help.

This audio edition is captivatingly read by Alex Jennings and Emilia Fox.

Only days before Britain declares war on Germany, Harry joins the Merchant Navy, unable to face long-held family secrets and the fact he will never be able to marry his true love Emma Barrington. But when his ship is sunk mid-Atlantic, Harry takes the opportunity to assume the identity of one his deceased rescuers and begin a new life.

Landing in America, he quickly discovers he has made a mistake and without any way to prove his true identity, Harry is now chained to a past that could be far worse than the one he had hoped to escape . . .

Brimming with intrigue, the Clifton Chronicles continues its powerful journey with family loyalties stretched to their limits and fates decided.

Continue the bestselling series with Best Kept Secret and Be Careful What You Wish For.

A bit torn as I am no fan of Lord Archer and his activities over the years. However as with all his books they are excellent. The many torturous hours on the M6 melt into an utterly enjoyable journey into the book. Very well produced and narrated.
Highly recommended

Would love to say I didn’t enjoy it but I did
