Marina Lewycka wrote the surprise best-seller, A History of Tractors in Ukranian. To publicize the publication of her second novel, Two Caravans, she was interviewed in the (Irish) Independent. Here is part of that interview--one that should give heart to writers starting their careers later in life:
"I sometimes regret that I don't have more writing. It would have been nice if it had come earlier but maybe if I'd done this well when I was young it would have been all downhill thereafter. I suppose it is quite strange to go from picking peas in Lincolnshire as a young girl to sitting behind a computer writing novels, but you know I wouldn't have had it any other way. It was a privilege for me to have seen that life."
