Query: A Place Called Freedom

The first Ken Follott book that I have read and thougherly enjoyed it. So much so, that I immediately ordered another book of this authors which I am now reading and enjoying just as much. I consider "A Place Called Freedom" an excellent read. Starting in the coal mines of Scotland and moving on to the early colonization days of America it is a wonderful story that brings home the hardships of living in those earlier times.
