Rose Tremain wins Orange prize

LONDON —

English writer Rose Tremain has won Britain's Orange Prize for fiction by women.

The judges of the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction awarded the prize to Tremain Wednesday for her novel, "The Road Home," about an Eastern European migrant in Britain.

Tremain set the novel in London and has said she wanted to draw out the individuality of an immigrant.

She beat five finalists including two North American writers nominated for their first novels. Montreal-based Heather O'Neill was nominated for "Lullabies for Little Criminals." Patricia Wood, a graduate student at the University of Hawaii, was nominated for "Lottery."
