Now We Shall Be Entirely Free

Product Description

Review: Scary, mysterious and thoughtful - the world of Jane Austen bespattered by mud, atrocity and driving rain. - New Statesman A propulsive, beautifully written investigation into atrocity, guilt and new beginnings. - Guardian Now We Shall Be Entirely Free, a high grade cat-and-mouse manhunt that covers the length of Britain during the Napoleonic Wars - a sort of The 39 Steps with added malice - is pitch-perfect. - New Statesman The plot grips and surprises. Miller's prose remains poetic and taut with an eye for the telling detail. he excels at creating characters who are defined, not limited, by a specific time and place, not just Lacroix, Calley and Medina but the minor players too. Historical or otherwise, this is fiction - storytelling - at its best. - Spectator Excellent. a novel of delicately shifting moods, a pastoral comedy and passionate romance story alternating with a blackly menacing thriller. It is also a book of ideas: about male violence, the impact of war and the price of freedom. - Observer A profound exploration of culpability, written in prose that comes singing off the page. a compelling read and an important literary achievement. - New Statesman Enthralling. Miller paints a richly detailed portrait of a society in some ways familiar, in others impossibly strange - Financial Times I much enjoyed Now We Shall Be Entirely Free, in which Andrew Miller returned to more orthodox historical fiction after 2015's The Crossing and triumphantly proved there's plenty of life in the old form yet. - Spectator / Book Description: By the Costa Award-winning author of PURE, a stunning historical novel - the tale of a traumatised soldier on a journey in search of peace, which turns into a nail-biting hunt to the death. / About the Author: Andrew Miller's first novel, Ingenious Pain, was published by Sceptre in 1997 and greeted as the debut of an outstanding new writer.
