# A Place Called Freedom by Ken Follett (Paperback)

**_A Place Called Freedom_ is a magnificent tale of the turbulent mid-18th century, set across both sides of the Atlantic, from the masterful Ken Follett. Two people, divided by class, are united in their courage, rebellion and search for freedom . . .**  
  
**A Life of Poverty**  
Scotland, 1767. Mack McAsh is a slave by birth, destined for a cruel and harsh life as a miner. But as a man of principles and courage, he has the strength to stand up for what he believes in, only to be labelled as a rebel and enemy of the state.  
  
**A Life of Wealth**  
Life feels just as constrained for rebellious Lizzie Hallim, as she struggles with the less cruel circumstances of wealth and privilege. Fiercely independent, she is engaged to a man she doesn't care for, a landlord's son and heir to an exploitative business empire.  
  
**A Search for Freedom**  
Lizzie finds herself helping Mack after he becomes a fugitive. Separated by class but bound by their yearning for freedom, they escape to London. True freedom, though, lies further afield, in a new life that awaits across the Atlantic Ocean . . .
