Now We Shall Be Entirely Free: a stunning historical novel with the grip of a thriller

One of The Times' Best Novels of the 21st Century

A book of the year: Guardian, New Statesman, Spectator, BBC History Magazine
'Excellent' Observer

'This is fiction - storytelling - at its best' Spectator

'That rarest of treats - propulsive storytelling in sensuous prose' Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures and Shy Creatures

When Captain John Lacroix returns to England after fighting Napoleon's forces in Spain, he is not the man he was. A survivor of the British arm's infamous retreat to Corunna, he carries with him a shameful secret, one he will travel to the outer reaches of Scotland to forget.

Lacroix's journey to the Hebrides leads to encounters with thieves and free thinkers, to unexpected friendships, even love. But as the short northern summer reaches its zenith, the shadow of the enemy is creeping closer - unbeknownst to Lacroix, a vicious English corporal and a Spanish officer are on his trail. Freedom, for John Lacroix, will come at a high price.

Winner of the Highland Book Prize | Shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize
