But his adventure takes an unexpected turn in this transatlantic historical novel from Pillars of the Earth author Ken Follett. <p><b>Set in an era of turbulent social changes on both sides of the Atlantic, <i>A Place Called Freedom</i> is a magnificent historical fiction novel from the undisputed master of suspense and drama, Ken Follett.</b><br><br><b>A Life of Poverty</b><br>Scotland, 1767. Mack McAsh is a slave by birth, destined for a cruel and harsh life as a miner. But as a man of principles and courage, he has the strength to stand up for what he believes in, only to be labelled as a rebel and enemy of the state.<br><br><b>A Life of Wealth </b><br>Life feels just as constrained for rebellious Lizzie Hallim, as she struggles with the less cruel circumstances of wealth and privilege. Fiercely independent, she is engaged to a man she doesn’t care for, a landlord’s son and heir to an exploitative business empire.<br><br><b>A Search for Freedom</b><br>Lizzie finds herself helping Mack after he becomes a fugitive. Separated by class but bound by their yearning for freedom, they escape to London. True freedom, though, lies further afield, in a new life that awaits across the Atlantic Ocean . . .</p> |
