Now We Shall Be Entirely Free

by Andrew Miller · 2018

Literary Fiction · ranked #252 in category

After the Battle of Corunna in 1809, a British officer suffering what would now be called PTSD deserts and flees to the Hebrides — pursued by two men sent to bring him back for an act committed during the retreat that he cannot face remembering. Miller's Walter Scott Prize-winning novel is a pursuit narrative and a study of war's psychological wounds, set against the Scottish landscape's vast indifference.
