The Road Home, by Rose Tremain

 

orange prize for fiction

Winner of the Orange Prize, The Road Home tells the story of a widower on his way from Eastern Europe to London, seeking work to support his family. Homesickness dogs him, not only for nostalgic reasons, but because he doesn't belong, body or soul, to his new country.

The Orange Prize for Fiction is annually awarded to a woman author of any nationality whose full-length novel, if first published in the United Kingdom and written in English, is judged to be the best of the prize period.
