A Place Called Freedom

Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – An oppressed young man longing for a better life must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice for true freedom–a “gripping” (Chicago Tribune) novel from the award-winning author of The Pillars of the Earth.

“An altogether entertaining reading experience.”–Minneapolis Star Tribune

Scotland, 1766. Sentenced to a life of misery in the brutal coal mines, twenty-one-year-old Mack McAsh hungers for escape. His only ally: the beautiful, highborn Lizzie Hallim, who is trapped in her own kind of hell. Though separated by politics and position, these two restless young people are bound by their passionate search for a place called freedom.

From the teeming streets of London to the infernal hold of a slave ship to a sprawling Virginia plantation, Ken Follett’s turbulent, unforgettable novel of liberty and revolution brings together a vivid cast of heroes and villains, lovers and rebels, hypocrites and hell-raisers–all propelled by destiny toward an epic struggle that will change their lives forever.
