Distance goes the distance,
By
This review is from: Distance (Paperback)
Distance is a thoroughly modern love story of a Scottish man and American woman who try to keep their new love alive across the ocean. Tom, a corporate movie making flack, meets Meg, a dissatisfied script doctor, in New York and they fall in love within a single week.
Tom must return home and the story follows the two as they wait eight weeks until Meg arrives for a visit in Scotland. During the agonizing wait Tom descends into alcoholism and guilt over his son who has a stutter while Meg explores her own creativity and begins work on a screenplay about their week in New York. Morrison is adept at assuming voices and switches effortlessly between the optimistic, though fretful, American Meg and the fatalistic, Scottish Tom. The best thing about Distance is the characters - readers really get to know Meg and Tom and thoroughly empathize with their plight. Since I finished the book, they remain in my mind, alive and fully formed. The conclusion is masterfully done - unexpected yet satisfying. Distance was a fantastic read and I look forward to reading more from Morrison.
