A Place Called Freedom

A Place Called Freedom
Ken Follett



posted by Lynn Wyche


This novel from the Author of The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, follows the journey of two young Scottish people from two very different backgrounds. Mack McAsh is a poor young man driven to escape a life working in the coal mines of Scotland. Lizzie Hallim is a privileged aristocrat trying to balance the expectations of her family and her need to break away from the confines of her status. Both lives intersect during their time in Scotland, London and their arrival in the American Colonies. This novel offers readers an interesting story and a bit of a history lesson. If you like historical fiction this would be a good pick.
