Sobre este item

Knopf, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. From Caryl Phillips-acclaimed author of The Nature of Blood and The Atlanti c Sound-a masterful new novel set in contemporary England, about an African man and an English woman whose hidden lives, and worlds, are revealed in t heir fragile, fateful connection. Dorothy and Solomon live in a new housing estate on the outskirts of an Eng lish village. She's recently bought her bungalow; he's recently become the night watchman. He is black, an immigrant. She is white, a recently retired music teacher. They are both solitary, reticent outsiders. When they move tenuously toward each other and their paths briefly cross, neither of them can know that it will be the last true human contact either will have. The novel unfolds into the past to show us how Solomon and Dorothy have arr ived at this moment: Solomon, a former soldier, escaping the horrors of a w ar-ravaged African country, entering England illegally, a non-man with no r esources but his own waning strength, and no comprehension of the society t hat both hates and harbors him; Dorothy, the product of a troubled childhoo d and a messy divorce, fleeing the repercussions of a desperate obsession. In scene after resonant scene, we watch as Solomon and Dorothy come to live inside themselves, closing off from a world that has changed-and changed t hem-beyond recognition. In their powerfully compelling stories, Caryl Phillips has created a brilliant and moving portrait of modern human displacement: from home, from heart, and from self.
