The Road Home
The Road Home by Rose Tremain is a wise and witty novel centred on Lev, a middle aged Polish man who has come to London as a migrant worker, ostensibly to earn a little money to send to his mother and daughter, but in reality running from unspoken problems within himself and at home, and seeking something that even he himself has no concept of.The reader sees the road Lev travels through his own eyes – at times laughing, crying and sighing with him as he struggles with mysterious rituals of ‘Englishness”, including foods, fashions and fads. We walk hand in hand with him in friendships old and new, during moments of despair and discovery, seeing before us, after all the road that truly leads him’ฆhome’ฆ
