Amazon synopsis
In a brutal world, charismatic rebel miner Mack McAsh - a slave by birth - is a man with the courage to stand up for what is right, and the strength to stick by his beliefs. Independent, rebellious Lizzie Hallim, meanwhile, is engaged to Jay Jamisson, the ruthless landlord's son and heir to an exploitative business empire. Born into separate worlds, Mack and Lizzie are thrown together when Mack becomes an enemy of the state and is forced to flee his homeland. Lizzie aids his escape, and it is not long before passions rage in the old world as well as the new ...Set in an era of turbulent social changes, "A Place Called Freedom" is a magnificent novel from the undisputed master of suspense and drama, Ken Follett.
I loved Pillars of the Earth and love books set in the 18th Century so I thought I'd probably enjoy this one, and I did. It's a very easy read, with lots of exciting bits, the main 'good' characters are really likeable and you can't help but root for them. The 'bad' characters are despicable, loathsome characters you hope are thwarted.
A rollicking good read! lol
