Description from the back cover:
Growing up in the slums of East End London, Charlie Trumper dreams of someday running his grandfather's fruit and vegetable barrow. That day comes suddenly when his grandfather dies leaving him the floundering business. With the help of Becky Salmon, an enterprising young woman, Charlie sets out to make a name for himself as "The Honest Trader". But the brutal onset of World War I takes Charlie far from home and into the path of a dangerous enemy whose legacy of evil follows Charlie and his family for generations.Encompassing three continents and spanning over sixty years, As the Crow Flies brings to life a magnificent tale of one man's rise from rags to riches set against the backdrop of a changing century.

Archer fans will delight in this one. If you are new to him, try Kain/Abel first.

I would call this a masterpiece. It rivals the Thornbirds as a story about a family. There are plenty of surprises and interweaving of events. Although a large book it flows right along and at times is hard to put down
