As The Crow Flies
3rd time reading it. Won’t be the last. Love it every time!!
Love it
I read this book many years ago and it was absolutely wonderful. I bought it from a thrift store for maybe a dollar and it was just a wonderful well read book
Outstanding
As a forerunner to "Only Time Will Tell," Archer's "As the Crow Flies" is an outstanding indicator of the author's skills. In wonderful prose writing, he gives a story which is historical while also being a novel impossible to put down. Comparative to Rutherfurds "Sarum". I enjoyed every word.
