Suspenseful and mesmerizing, This Was a Man is the seventh and final novel in international bestseller Jeffrey Archer’s the Clifton Chronicles – an epic and poignant conclusion. Harry Clifton is set to write his magnum opus, and as he reflects on his days, the lives of his family continue to unfold, unravel and intertwine in ways no one could have imagined.
Harry’s wife Emma completes her ten years as Chairman of the Bristol Royal Infirmary when she receives a surprise call from Margaret Thatcher.
In Whitehall, Giles Barrington discovers the truth about his wife, but is she a pawn in a larger game? Sebastian Clifton finds himself in a new role after an unexpected resignation and his talented daughter, Jessica, goes to art school but gets into trouble. Can her aunt help?
Lady Virginia is about to flee the country to avoid her creditors when the death of a duchess gives her another opportunity to clear her debts and finally trump the two families.
The epic saga that has charted the lives, loves and adventures of the Clifton and Barrington families reaches its stunning conclusion in this, the final heart-stopping volume from the master storyteller, Jeffrey Archer.

Couldnt have been any better. The fantastic enthusiasm it carried throughout the entire series got the final installment. Cherished all through, only feeling sad as its over now, yes, anything great will conclude somewhere, long live Jeffrey, waiting for many more chatactrrs like Emma, Harry, Masie, Giles....

Archer struggled to fill the 7th volume with unrelated events and insignificant characters before finally revealing the leading man's life secret and giving him a stupid exit.

I found myself hoping I missed a few pages (or better yet, chapters) as I inched closer and closer to the back cover of 'This Was a Man'. Has it been 7 books already? All good things must come to an end. It was a thoroughly enthralling ride, typical of a Jeffrey Archer novel. Another reminder of what storytelling is.
