The Way Home by Rose Tremain
As promised I will not be attempting to be a BookBlogger, and give subjective reviews, so I will only be reflecting my enjoyment (or not) of the current book.
I have only given really high marks to three books this year. Death of a Murderer by Rupert Thomson 9/10, and Engleby by Sebastian Faulks, 10/10.
The Way Home also gets 10/10. I just loved this book. It was truly 'unputdownable' and I didn't want it to end. I was tempted to knock half a point off for a sudden 'jump in time' at the end, that I felt required a little more 'filling in', but no more crit than that. Do read this book. It's a gem and seriously deserves it's Orange Broadband shortlisting.
It also made me view 'legal' immigrants in a much more sensitve way.
