On writing, contemporary Britain and her latest novel about an economic migrant.
Novelist and short-story writer Rose Tremain is perhaps best known for her award-winning historical novels ‘Restoration’ and ‘Music and Silence’. In her latest novel - The Road Home - she explores present-day London through the eyes of an economic migrant from Eastern Europe called Lev. Rose once said that it was impossible to write a book about contemporary Britain because there is “no untrodden path, no original way in” so Ritula will be asking her why she has changed her mind, finding out what draws her to write fiction about outsiders and discovering why she became a writer in the first place.
The Road Home by Rose Tremain is published by Chatto and Windus, ISBN: 0780701177935.
