About this audiobook
The bestselling author of Sons of Fortune, Jeffrey Archer once again astonishes, delights, and electrifies with this audio collection.
Featuring bonus interviews with the author.
From London to China, and New York to Nigeria, Jeffrey Archer takes the listener on a tour of ancient heirlooms and modern romance, of cutthroat business and kindly strangers, of lives lived in the realms of power and lives freed from the gloom of oppression. Fortunes are made and squandered, honor betrayed and redeemed, and love lost and rediscovered.
Embracing the passions that drive men and women to love and to hate, A Quiver Full of Arrows will captivate the hearts and souls of listeners everywhere.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Stories in this collection The Chinese Statue The Luncheon The Coup The First Miracle The Perfect Gentleman One-Night Stand The Century Broken Routine Henry's Hiccup A Matter of Principle The Hungarian Professor Old LoveFollowers of my blog will have noticed a penchant for Jeffrey Archer short stories just recently.That is simply because they are so good. Sometimes mystery, sometimes just simply quirky, all with marvellously drawn characters.In this collection Archer says that 11 of the stories are based on known incidents and only one is totally the result of his own imagination. Each of them is 20-30 pages long. Just right for a bit of night time distraction.My calculation now is that I have read at least 60 short stories by Archer and he really is the master.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The short stories in this collection are all well-written - they each tell an interesting story with just the right amount of detail and no loose ends. The other fun thing about this collection is that each story has an unexpected or unlooked for ending. Probably my favorite stories would be "The Coup" and "Old Love" - though I didn't like the ending to that one much. I also enjoyed "The Perfect Gentleman".
