A Place Called Freedom

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It's set in the late 1770s-1780s beginning in Wales and London, then Virginia at the time when both France and the soon-to-be US were in revolution. It was particularly relevant to me since we had just returned from 2 weeks travelling from Philadelphia to Jamestown, steeping ourselves in everything historical, especially during that period. As with many of Follett's books, the historical and geographical setting as well as his characters truly drew me in.
