Revisiting a previous read. I think I read this after some of his thrillers - and enjoyed it. I remember loving Dangerous Fortune - and Pillars of the Earth. In each of these novels - we have a cast of characters that follow the same pattern. But - it's an enjoyable read.
With A Place Called Freedom - we have the downtrodden hero, the spunky heroine who defies traditional roles, the wealthy landowner who thinks only of himself, the evil mother/mother in law, the men who side against our hero and with the landowner, and the assorted characters that our main players come in contact with.
From the coal mines of Scotland, to a Virginia plantation, to the Appalachian mountains - Mack MacAsh and Lizzie Hallim are both searching for freedom.
