The Road Home Rose Tremain
In The Road Home Rose Tremain makes you care about the widower who makes the long bus journey to England, his promised land.He needs money for his often truculent mother and his young daughter.
The wonderful pen portraits of the people he meets and the ones he has left behind bring the story to life.

This is a well written book that I would recommend to anyone
