Summary

This program is read by acclaimed English actor Richard Armitage.

Heads You Win is international #1 bestseller Jeffrey Archer’s most ambitious and creative work since Kane and Abel, with a final twist that will shock even his most ardent of fans.

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.

une intrigue très bien ficelée sur un fond historique passionnant. Des personnages d une belle épaisseur, et une lecture brillante par Richard Armitage

excellent !

La narration est originale, la fin inattendue et loin du "Happy End" (normal, l'auteur n'est pas américain) mais on peut quand même se douter de qui est qui et j'aurais aimé que ça devienne plus polémique à la fin, on reste un peu sur sa faim. Je n'ai jamais rien "lu" de Jeffrey Archer, ignorais même qui il était mais je comprends mieux le contexte du livre, et je l'ai acheté bêtement pour Richard Amitage qui "lit" toujours aussi bien et est capable de faire vraiment vivre les personnages. Donc, sur la narration, je ne suis pas déçue et sur le reste, c'est bien mais pas super bien.

Histoire originale, narration parfaite
