Rose Tremain is an award winning novelist recognised for her ability to get right inside the minds of her characters, offering the reader a view of the world through their eyes. She’s likened being a writer to being an explorer, risking everything to investigate the far reaches of the human mind. In her book Sacred Country, we become a little girl who believes she's really a boy. In Restoration, we live the life of a 17th-century man. And in her latest novel – her 16th novel - Lily: A Tale of Revenge we enter the world of Victorian orphan Lily Mortimer, abandoned as a baby in 1850 at the gates of a park and taken to the London Foundling hospital, where she experiences abuse and cruelty that lead to her committing an avenging crime years later.
