Having been recommended to me on good authority and having heard of the reputation of (but never read) Rose Tremain, I had high expectations of this novel. Well it didn't disappoint me, in fact it exceeded those expectations.
Other reviewers have gone into detail here on the plot, suffice to say that Lev journeys to the UK from Eastern Europe to look for work and earn money to send home and improve the lives of his daughter and mother, his wife having died tragically young. He overcomes difficulties, and is lucky enough to encounter some genuinely kind, thoughtful and friendly people who help make it possible for him to see his plans through, though not without emotional and financial setbacks along the way. How interesting for ... Read More: >>More Details |

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 ... Read More: >>More Details |

The book opens in 1629, when Peter Claire, a young English lutenist, arrives to take up his post as a musician at the court of King Christian IV of Denmark. It then moves in a series of flashbacks and forward movements from this moment, both for Claire and for the King; for Kirsten Munk, the King's morganatic second wife; for Emilia Tilsen, one of Kirsten's young maid-servants; for the Countess O'Fingle in Ireland, whose husband is tortured unto madness by a tune he once heard and cannot recapture; for Marcus, Emilia's waif-like little brother; for Johann, her father in Jutland; and for the Rev. James Claire, Peter's father in Suffolk. For each of these characters Rose Tremain has created a distinctive style and voice, each a pleasure to read. She ... 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. >>More Details |

I bought this for my mum when she was going on holiday and she loved it so much that I had a read as well. There is a good mix of stories - some make you laugh and other's tug on the heartstrings. I loved the retro feel to the jacket and have it facing out on my book shelf!

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. >>More Details |

Restorationby: Rose Tremain March 02, 1995 |

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.
