''Questions of Travel'' is a 2012 novel by Australian author Michelle de Kretser. It won the 2013 Miles Franklin Award and the 2013 Prime Minister's Literary Award for Fiction. ==Description== The novel concerns two main characters: Laura—an Australian woman who travels the world before returning to Sydney to work for a publisher of travel guides—and Ravi—an IT professional from Sri Lanka who flees his country after a major trauma. The novel "illuminates travel, work and modern dreams in this brilliant evocation of the way we live now."〔(Miles Franklin Award novel synopsis )〕 Owen Richardson, in his review of the novel in ''The Monthly'' described it as "...a big, ambitious novel of Sydney and the world, globalisation and divided identities. It is everywhere full of intelligence and a vivid sense of individual lives."〔(''The Monthly'' )〕 The novel's title, ''Questions of Travel'', is an homage to a poem of the same name by Elizabeth Bishop.
