The Oxford Educated former politician and internationally bestselling novelist Jeffrey Archer served five years in Britain’s House of Commons and 22 years in the House of Lords. Perhaps best known for his Clifton Chronicles, an intergenerational saga that traces the trials and tribulations of the Clifton family, he is also the author of a number of other bestselling books and short story collections. The Los Angeles Times called him "one of the top ten storytellers in the world." The final volume in the Chronicles, This Was a Man appears this fall.
