<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Miller's is a novel of delicately shifting moods, a pastoral comedy, and passionate romance story alternating with a blackly menacing thriller.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> NOTABLE BOOK OF 2019</b> <p><b>"Mr. Miller strikes an impressive balance between adventure and atmosphere."--<em>The Wall Street Journal</em></b> <p>When Captain John Lacroix returns home from Spain, wounded, unconscious, and alone, he believes that he has seen the worst of what men may do. It is 1809, and in England's wars against Napoleon, the Battle of Corruna stands out as a humiliation: a once-proud army forced to retreat, civilized men reduced to senseless acts of cruelty. <p>Slowly regaining his health, Lacroix journeys north to the misty isles of Scotland with the intent of forgetting the horrors of the war. Unbeknownst to him, however, something else has followed him back from the war--something far more dangerous than a memory...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Praise for <strong><em>Now We Shall Be Entirely Free</em></strong></p> <p>"Miller acutely imagines the war-scarred psychology of his characters...and uses the historical setting to great advantage."--<em>New Yorker</em></p> <p>"Mr. Miller strikes an impressive balance between adventure and atmosphere.
