A Distant Shore is the seventh novel by Black British author Caryl Phillips, published in 2003 by Secker & Warburg in the UK and Knopf in the US. It was a finalist for the 2003 PEN/Faulkner Award.[1] In the 2004 Commonwealth Writers' Prize it won the Best Book Prize in the Europe and South Asia category and was judged that year's overall Best Book. Set in contemporary England, A Distant Shore is the story of an African man and an English woman "whose hidden lives, and worlds, are revealed in their fragile, fateful connection".[1] As the author has stated: "It is obviously a novel about the challenged identity of two individuals, but it's also a novel about English—or national—identity."[2] References1. ^1 "A Distant Shore" page at author's website. 2. ^Jill Morrison (2004), [https://books.google.com/books?id=XAhgn0fuZQoC&pg=PA135&lpg=PA135&dq=a+distant+shore+caryl+phillips&source=bl&ots=7x5wOKXlpM&sig=o1gOpNFHw5OqzMlGyEWbp-aCuIU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=FiVVU9rDOer-ygPUmYK4Aw&ved=0CIwCEOgBMCQ#v=onepage&q=a%20distant%20shore%20caryl%20phillips&f=false "A Conversation with Caryl Phillips"], in Conversations with Caryl Phillips, University Press of Mississippi, 2009, p. 135.
