A place called freedom / Ken Follett.

Follett, Ken. (Author).

Summary:

Working in the mines of the Scottish highlands, Mack hungers for freedom, when he is arrested for rioting. Sent to the American colonies as a convict, he finds an unlikely ally in Lizzie, a willful young aristocratic woman who yearns to get away from her own kind of hell.
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. - "Goodreads"
