The journey begins with Lev's bus journey from his home in Poland to the loneliness of impersonal London. Lev is into his early forties, has recently lost his wife to cancer and believes that the only way that he can support his very young daughter and his mother is to find himself a job in London. His life-long friend, who supposedly knows such things, has told Lev that he should be able to get by in London on £20 a week. The truth becomes apparent within 24 hours of his arrival at Victoria Bus Terminus when he finds out how much it's going to cost for one night's B&B. During the bus journey, Lev has struck up a friendship with a female teacher who already has good contacts in London. Throughout the book, this lady comes to Lev's ... Read More:

I loved this novel. I haven't read it recently so some of the details are fuzzy but I do remember being amazed by the story and the author's writing style. "Sacred Country" is about a young girl, Mary Ward, who, at the age of six, realizes that she should be boy. The book is a chronicle of her life from that point on. I found the detailed descriptions of the odd things that captured Mary's curiosity as a child (and as an adult, in a different way) intriguing. I won't lie, this is a very sad story at times, and is hard to read in some parts because of Mary's loneliness. The loneliness is never stated and packs a harder punch because of it. All in all, this book explained to me in stunning writing, the process of finding all of the right worlds ... Read More:

I read this book on holiday, so was able to relax and fully appreciate Tremains subtle yet dramatic writing. Having never read her books before, I am now a convert and so glad I picked up this book which held me from paged first to last with ease. A beautifully written and compelling story.

5.The Way I Found Her by: Rose Tremain April 02, 1998

This book is an excellent read and I would totally recommend it to anyone looking for something a bit more challenging and out of the ordinary. The thirteen year old Lewis Little is a great pair of eyes through which to view the world of the story and the ending was completely unexpected and very effective. On a side note the writing is excellent and a great antidote to the tube! Definitely worth a bit of time & effort.

read this book. It describes a catastrophe of the soul and its restoration. By the book's conclusion the meaning of love has been redefined by Merivel's poignant account of his journey of the heart. Tremain carries us through each revelation with such extraordinary humour and compassion one can only marvel at the writer's skill and wisdom.
