Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer tells the epic story of William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski, born on the same day at opposite ends of the world near the turn of the century. One is a son of a Boston millionaire, while the other is an impoverished Polish immigrant. Despite their vastly different beginnings, fate brings them together as they chase dreams of wealth and power. Ambitious, powerful, and ruthless, these two men are engaged in an unrelenting struggle to build empires, driven by an all-consuming hatred for one another. The narrative spans over sixty years and three generations, unfolding through the tumultuous periods of war, marriage, fortune, and disaster as Kane and Abel compete fiercely for success and ultimate triumph.
