The Fourth Estate

The Fourth Estate
by Jeffrey Archer

I started listening to this audio book on the way home from the Tri-Cities. It was hard for me to focus on the beginning, but it got interesting as it reverted to the childhoods of the two main characters in the story and continued through to their adulthood stories. I feel like the plot is thickening, and I'm only on the second side of the first tape.

The story takes place in Europe during and after World War 1. One central theme that is emerging is newspapers and the press. Another theme that I am sensing has to do with Judaism. I'm not sure if that is going anywhere, or if it is a residual from the Holocaust time period.

I can't say that I'm enjoying the book yet, but I am going to keep going. I am mildly intrigued.
