Set in Boston and London over sixteen years, True Freedom is a panoramic account of how America came to fight Britain for its freedom in the eighteenth century. It is full of vivid period details, you can almost hear the clerks scribbling away in the American Department and feel the determination of the Boston people to defy parliament in London.

A literary translator looks back on the events and encounters that have shaped him in his peregrinations from London to Lima, Paris to Madrid, Leiden and back to London over three decades. He finds it hard to make sense of the opaque syntax of his own life and relationships. Can a chance meeting bring some much-desired clarity?
