Now We Shall Be Entirely Free

by Andrew Miller
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
A British soldier flees to the Hebrides for reprieve from war while something else hunts for him in this historical thriller by the author of The Crossing.
When Cap. John Lacroix returns home from Spain, wounded, unconscious, and alone, he believes that he has seen the worst of what men may do. It is 1809, and in England's wars against Napoleon, the Battle of Corruna stands out as a humiliation: a once-proud army forced to retreat, civilized men reduced to senseless acts of cruelty.
Slowly regaining his health, Lacroix journeys north to the misty isles of Scotland with the intent of forgetting the horrors of the war. Unbeknownst to him, however, something else has followed him back from the war—something far more dangerous than a memory . . .
A New York Times Notable Book of 2019
"Miller's writing is a source of wonder and delight." —Hilary Mantel
Praise for New We Shall Be Entirely Free

"Miller is in fine form here, mixing an unforgettable cat-and-mouse chase with a moving love story." —Kirkus Reviews
