Now We Shall Be Entirely Free: The `magnificent` novel by the Costa-winning author of PURE

The rapturously acclaimed new novel by the Costa Award-winning author of PURE, hailed as `excellent`, `gripping`, `as suspenseful as any thriller`, `engrossing`, `moving` and `magnificent`.One rainswept winter`s night in 1809, an unconscious man is carried into a house in Somerset. He is Captain John Lacroix, home from Britain`s disastrous campaign against Napoleon`s forces in Spain.Gradually Lacroix recovers his health, but not his peace of mind. He will not – cannot – talk about the war or face the memory of what took place on the retreat to Corunna. After the command comes to return to his regiment, he lights out instead for the Hebrides, unaware that he has far worse to fear than being dragged back to the army: a vicious English corporal and a Spanish officer with secret orders are on his trail.In luminous prose, Miller portrays a man shattered by what he has witnessed, on a journey that leads to unexpected friendships, even to love. But as the short northern summer reaches its zenith, the shadow of the enemy is creeping closer. Freedom, for John Lacroix, will come at a high price. Taut with suspense, this is an enthralling, deeply involving novel by one of Britain`s most acclaimed writers.`His writing suspends life until it is read and is a source of wonder and delight` Hilary Mantel on Casanova in the Sunday Times
