Kane and Abel
The mega-bestselling novel that made Jeffrey Archer a star, Kane and Abel, “a sprawling blockbuster!”—Publishers Weekly
TWO STRANGERS BORN WORLDS APART. ONE DESTINY THAT WOULD DEFINE THEM BOTH...
William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski, one the son of a Boston millionaire, the other a penniless Polish immigrant—born on the same day near the turn of the century on opposite sides of the world—are brought together by fate and the quest of a dream.
Two men—ambitious, powerful, ruthless—are locked in a relentless struggle to build an empire, fueled by their all-consuming hatred. Over sixty years and three generations, through war, marriage, fortune, and disaster, Kane and Abel battle for the success and triumph that only one man can have.
“Archer is a master entertainer.”—Time

I only read this because there is a musical adaptation premiering in Japan next year. There are some good elements that might be well portrayed on stage with different writers who actually know what they're doing but I hate this book and everyone in it so much. Only person who I didn't wish would die was Zaphia who the author seemed to hate because she got old (a grave crime for women but not men apparently) and didn't want to sleep with a cheating capitalist any more. GOOD FOR HER.
