A Place Called Freedom Hardcover - 1995

by Ken Follett


About this book

A Place Called Freedom follows the path of an idealistic young coal miner from Scotland who firmly believes there must be more to life than working down the pit. The young miner, Mack McAsh, eventually finds himself looking for work and a new life in London. He becomes a leader amongst the working classes of the city and a target for vested interest groups. Framed for a crime he did not commit,  he is sent to serve seven years labour in the Colony of Virginia and finds himself scrambling to start anew.

From the publisher

A PLACE CALLED FREEDOM begins in the infernal coal mines of the Jamisson family, in the Scottish highlands, where twenty-one-year-old Mack McAsh spends most of his waking hours. Bound to his employer for life, Mack burns with an insatiable desire to escape.
He finds an unlikely ally in Lizzie Hallim, the beautiful, willful young aristocratic woman who yearns for independence in a male-dominated society. Mack's hunger for freedom brings him into conflict again and again with the harsh rulers of eighteenth-century Britain. Accused of riot--a capital crime--Mack becomes one of the thousands of convicts who are shipped to the American colonies, to work as slaves for seven long years.
With its vivid, fascinating portrayal of the colorful streets of London and the endless landscapes of the New World, plus an unforgettable cast of heroes and villains, lovers, and rebels, hypocrites, hell-raisers, and whores, A PLACE CALLED FREEDOM is a magnificent epic of love, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
