The Road Home by Rose Tremain

5.0

This has been on my shelf for years, unread. A friend had recommended it but, mistakenly I had not read it. What a heartwarming book about overcoming adversity. Not all sweetness and light. But, it is the immigrant’s tale from the bottom, from arrival, survival and achieving dreams, not dreamt before arriving.

Not dissimilar to The Beekeeper of Aleppo, a lot of retrospective about loss and trying to find a path forward. Thinking of our world today from another’s perspective is always good and this beautifully written book by the award winning author, Rose Tremain, certainly does that.
