A Place Called Freedom

Sentenced to a life of misery in the brutal coal mines of Scotland, 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. Two restless young people, separated by politics and position, bound by their passionate search for a place called freedom... From the teeming streets of London to the infernal hold of a slave ship headed for the American colonies to a sprawling Virginia plantation, Ken Follett thrills us with this magnificent tale of love and liberty. Set in 1766 against an era ripe with riot and revolution, his turbulent, unforgettable novel brings together a vivid cast of heroes and villains, lovers and rebels, hypocrites and hell-raisers-strong-willed men and women propelled by destiny toward an epic struggle and a perilous climax that will change their lives forever....
