Description

The Road HomeIn the wake of factory closings and his beloved wife's death, Lev is on his way from Eastern Europe to London, seeking work to support his mother and his little daughter. After a spell of homelessness, he finds a job in the kitchen of a posh restaurant, and a room in the house of an appealing Irishman who has also lost his family. Never mind that Lev must sleep in a bunk bed surrounded by plastic toys he has found a friend and shelter. However

In the wake of factory closings and his beloved wife's death, Lev is on his way from Eastern Europe to London, seeking work to support his mother and his little daughter. After a spell of homelessness, he finds a job in the kitchen of a posh restaurant, and a room in the house of an appealing Irishman who has also lost his family. Never mind that Lev must sleep in a bunk bed surrounded by plastic toys -- he has found a friend and shelter. However constricted his life in England remains he compensates by daydreaming of home, by having an affair with a younger restaurant worker (and dodging the attentions of other women), and by trading gossip and ambitions via cell phone with his hilarious old friend Rudi who, dreaming of the wealthy West, lives largely for his battered Chevrolet.

Homesickness dogs Lev, not only for nostalgic reasons, but because he doesn't belong, body or soul, to his new country -- but can he really go home again? Rose Tremain's prodigious talents as a prose writer are on full display in The Road Home, but her novel never loses sight of what is truly important in the lives we lead.

You get what you pay for
Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks
You should stagger each rail when installing. If you put them in a straight line there’s not enough space to properly use all of the hooks.

Outstanding quality, smart design, and built for real use
Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks, Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks
It’s sturdy, well-made, and thoroughly designed. I was so impressed that I decided to get another one and gifted it to a friend, and they love it. The metal rails are thick and solid, and the adjustable hooks are heavy duty with a protective coating that prevents scratches of tools. Everything feels durable and secure. No bending or wobbling, even when loaded with shovels, brakes, brooms, ladders, and other garden tools. The 440 pound capacity is no exaggeration. Installation is pretty straightforward and the flexibility to position. The hooks makes it easy to customize for different tool sizes.
