Title: The Land of the Free - Ken Follett - book
Summary :
Between young Mack, condemned to near slavery in the Jamisson coal mines, and the non-conformist Lizzie, the disappointed wife of one of the master's sons, it only took a few glances and furtive encounters to spark the attraction of hearts.
But in 18th-century English society, still feudal despite the new ideas of its philosophers, both have no choice but submission and revolt. Rebel, fugitive, recaptured and condemned, Mack will not see Lizzie again until he is on the Virginia plantation where he was deported for forced labor. Only then will they understand that happiness is earned by forcing destiny...
From the slag heaps of Scotland to the docks of the Thames, from slave-owning America to the first forays into the still-virgin West, the author of The Pillars of the Earth takes us on a superb epic where passionate love merges with the aspiration of an entire era for freedom and justice.
