A Place Called Freedom

De: Ken Follett

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

Larger-than-life characters and an epic plot brimming with the energy of his internationally acclaimed thrillers make Ken Follett's A Place Called Freedom an experience not to be missed. This lush novel, set in 1766 England and America, evokes an era ripe with riot and revolution, from the teeming streets of London to the sprawling grounds of a Virginia plantation. Mack McAsh burns with the desire to escape his life of slavery in Scottish coal mines while Lizzie Hallim is desperate to shed a life of sheltered subjugation to her spineless husband. United in America, their only chance for freedom lies beyond the Western frontier - if they're brave enough to take it. Spanning two continents and bringing together an unforgettable cast of heroes, villains, and rebels, A Place Called Freedom is a magnificent epic of love, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Narrator Simon Prebble's masterful use of voice and pacing captures a vivid cast of characters and the powerful destiny that shapes their lives.

Harlequin Romance

Disappointing after The Pillars of the Earth. The writing was unimaginative and read like a Harlequin Romance novel.

Audible Daily Deal for June 18, 2020

Ken Follett's novels have often disappointed me. This is my first in six years and it is the best of Follett novels I have ever read or listened to. I suspect that is due to the excellent narration of Simon Prebble. In any case I cannot recommend it because it is so slow moving.

Excellent

First of all I would like to address all the reviews stating this book was grossly pornographic.??? I have no idea what they are referring to? There are a few times couples had sex in the story but I found nothing crude about any of it.
I normally prefer female performer's but Simon Prebble was perfect for this book. Many times I felt all the emotions of the characters.
Well done to the author and the narrator! Thank you for the history and very well put together story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book

I enjoyed this story. Well done. It touched my heart .Thank you for this story.

Wonderful for a road trip!

Or anywhere else- masterful narration, fabulous characters and story. I continue to love Ken’s books.

Well read story which didn't leave me wanting any more when finished.

Simon Prebble gave a wonderful performance. The story itself is just alright. The characters each have a unique voice. The style of writing is often enjoyable. Many moments are vividly clear to the imagination. There are enough sex scenes to make one wonder if it should be classified as a romance novel. Not for kids, unless you've already explained birds, bees, and adultery.

Enthralling story and excellent narration

I loved the story and the narration. I would highly recommend it, get it today

Typical Elaboration of Characters by Follett

Every historical Follett novel leaves me sad and in awe of the human struggles in history. More strong female characters.
