I'm in the midst of the Clifton Chronicles, a series of seven (so far) books by British author Jeffrey Archer that have been absolute page turners. The life story of Harry Clifton, his wife, their children and assorted friends and relatives. Starting in post WWI England a progressing to (I assume, though I'm only on book five and harry has just turned 50) the modern day, it's been great fun so far.
