The Road Home: A powerful story of migration, London and the search for belonging from the Sunday Times bestseller - Brossura
Sinossi
Widowed migrant Lev comes to London for work, hoping to earn enough to save the daughter and village he left behind.
Lev travels from Eastern Europe to Britain by coach, leaving behind his mother, his young daughter and the memory of his dead wife. He needs work, money and a way to imagine a future after the sawmill that sustained his village has closed.
London greets him with strangeness and possibility. He finds help from fellow migrant Lydia, work in kitchens and care homes, and a brief, intense relationship with a chef, Sophie. Yet while he learns about the city and begins to dream of opening a restaurant back home, his village is facing a new threat.
The Road Home is a compassionate, witty and clear-eyed story of migration, labour, exile, grief and belonging. From the Sunday Times bestselling author Rose Tremain, it speaks to readers looking for contemporary social realism and a humane story about starting again.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. "The Road Home" by Rose Tremain. Published in 2008 by Vintage Books. Second Printing "A wise and witty look at the contemporary migrant experience. Lev is on his way from Eastern Europe to Britain, seeking work. Behind him loom the figures of his dead wife, his beloved young daughter and his outrageous friend Rudi who - dreaming of the wealthy West - lives largely for his battered Chevrolet. Ahead of Lev lies the deep strangeness of the British: their hostile streets, their clannish pubs, their obsession with celebrity. London holds out the alluring possibility of friendship, sex, money and a new career and, if Lev is lucky, a new sense of belonging." Book is in Very Good condition! Sticker on front cover.
