  <default_description>Ordinary Heros,Extraordinary DeedsThe bestselling author of Kane amp; Abel, The Prodigal Daughter and Honor Among Theives once again astonishes, delights, and electrifies his legions of fans.From London to China, and New York to Nigeria, Jeffrey Archer takes the reader on a tour of ancient heirlooms and modern romance, of cutthroat business and kindly strangers, of lives lived in the realms of power and lives freed from the gloom of oppression. Fortunes are made and squandered, honor betrayed and redeemed, and love lost and rediscovered.Embracing the passions that drive men and women to love and to hate, A Quiver Full of Arrows will captivate the hearts and souls of readers of everywhere.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Short stories. This is the least favorite of the books I have read by Jeffrey Archer. It appears to have been an early effort, and the stories are rife with unbridled British snobbery. There is an exception, the story &quot;Old Love&quot; was uplifting. ]]></body>
