Dorothy and Solomon reside in a new property property on the outskirts of an English village. She's recently bought her bungalow; he's recently become the night watchman. He's dark, an immigrant. She actually is white, a recently retired music educator. They are both solitary, reticent outsiders. When they move tenuously toward one another and their paths briefly cross, neither of them can know that it will be the previous true individuals contact either will have. A Distant Shoreline unfolds in to the past to show us how Solomon and Dorothy have attained this moment: Solomon, a former soldier, escaping the horrors of any war-ravaged African country, going into England illegally, a non-man without resources but his own waning strength, and no understanding of the world that both hates and harbors him; Dorothy, the merchandise of a stressed years as a child and a messy divorce, fleeing the repercussions of any anxious obsession. In field after resonant field, we watch as Solomon and Dorothy come to live a life inside themselves, concluding off from a world that has changed--and evolved them--beyond recognition. Within their powerfully compelling reviews, Caryl Phillips has generated a brilliant and moving portrait of modern individuals displacement: from your home, from heart and soul, and from self.
