Fellow novelist Katharine McMahon on Rose Tremain...

If I'm asked who is my literary role model, it's Tremain.  I love the fact that she's very experimental, and is always setting herself new challenges and new forms.  Her historical writing is inspirational because of its authenticity, and the powerful story-telling.  I've chosen The Road Home because I found it very absorbing, and a new direction for Tremain.
