Summary
Heads You Win is the incredible and thrilling novel by the master storyteller and bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles and Kane and Abel, Jeffrey Archer.
Leningrad, Russia, 1968.
From an early age it is clear that Alexander Karpenko is destined to lead his countrymen. But when his father is assassinated by the KGB for defying the state, Alexander and his mother will have to escape Russia if they hope to survive. At the docks, they have an irreversible choice: board a container ship bound for America or one bound for Great Britain. Alexander leaves the choice to a toss of a coin...
In a single moment, a double twist decides Alexander’s future. During an epic tale, spanning two continents and thirty years, we follow Alexander through triumph and defeat as he sets out on parallel lives, as Alex in New York and Sasha in London. As this unique story unfolds, both come to realize that to find their destiny they must face the past they left behind as Alexander in Russia.
With a final twist that will shock even his most ardent fans, this is international number one bestseller Jeffrey Archer’s most ambitious and creative work since Kane and Abel.
Critic reviews
"The master storyteller returns with a nail-biter every bit as good as Kane and Abel – utterly enthralling." (Joanna Lumley)

Disappointing ending
Thoroughly enjoyed this (once the premis sunk in!)... but disappointed by the ending that seemed rushed.

Great storytelling with brilliant narration
I haven’t read a Jeffrey Archer book for many years but this was as good as I remember his gift for telling a story. However what made this memorable for me was Richard Armitage’s narration which brought the whole thing to life with the accents, clear diction and momentum - what a joy.

OK but lacked the old Archer substance
A few chapters in I wondered whether to rewind to establish how the single family was split 2 ways. I did but then slightly irritated, decided it was intentionally vague. I expected clarity as the plot thickened but actually it never came. I am an ardent Jeffrey Archer fan and must admit to being quite disappointed with his latest offering.

Wow
Absolutely marvellous, had me hooked from the very beginning. The Narrator was incredible and I was completely submerged into Leningrad/ London/Boston and New York.
The characters were so beautifully described I cried and laughed out loud on several occasions. I can’t wait to visit more art gallery’s and only pray I find a pizza parlour as good as Eleanor’s!!!
The final sentence left me with my jaw on the floor. Can’t wait to read more of his work!!! Thank you.
