A Place Called Freedom
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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.
Reviews
Hard to believe this was really him writing this book. Very shallow and predictable.

Very enjoyable story that kept me wondering what was going to happen next. Therefore, I couldn’t put it down, which is my greatest compliment I can give!

Always a great read by Ken Follett of Settlers in America. Love & hate!

I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The characters that you like only suffer mildly compared to some other Follet novels. Once you start reading it’s tough to put down.

Not enough depth of character. Parts were interesting…. But overall no real surprises…pretty obvious where it was headed and how it would end.
