A powerful complement to such novels as A Distant Shore (which won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize three years ago), Foreigners is really one piece of a mosaic that Phillips has been carefully and patiently putting together all his life. Britain cannot know itself, he suggests, until it acknowledges all of its parts...
