Hard to believe this was really him writing this book. Very shallow and predictable.

Very enjoyable story that kept me wondering what was going to happen next. Therefore, I couldn’t put it down, which is my greatest compliment I can give!

Always a great read by Ken Follett of Settlers in America. Love & hate!

I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The characters that you like only suffer mildly compared to some other Follet novels. Once you start reading it’s tough to put down.

Not enough depth of character. Parts were interesting…. But overall no real surprises…pretty obvious where it was headed and how it would end.

Couldn't put it down but it ended abruptly. Needs a sequel. Or two. This story should be continued.

Read what it’s like to be alive in the late 1700s in Scotland, England, and America through the individual stories of various interesting characters and how their paths cross

Great story and read. Drags a little at the end, but ends correctly.

Ken Follett books are rich in details, engaging, entertaining, well researched, and a great read.

Follett is a brilliant story teller and this was especially enjoyable with the historical fiction angle about indentured slavery of Scottish people.
