A Place Called Freedom by Ken Follett

`Ken Follett can't write a bad book' - Stephen KingInternational no. 1 bestselling author Ken Follett weaves a magnificent tale of the turbulent mid-18th century in A Place Called Freedom. Two people, divided by class, are united in their courage, rebellion and search for freedom . . . A Life of PovertyScotland, 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. A Life of WealthLife 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. A Search for FreedomLizzie 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 . . . ***Praise for Ken Follett:`There's a reason he's a bestseller - he can tell a story' - The Times`Effortlessly engaging and entertaining' - Daily Mail`Follett is masterly in conveying so much drama and historical information so vividly' - The Scotsman`Extraordinarily satisfying . . . truly suspenseful' - Los Angeles Times
