The major character in To Seek a Newer World epitomizes something
of his nation's history. He is Dr. Daniel Rutherford, a young man
returning home from sorrow in the United States. He had gone there
and then to England to study and had married an Afro-Caribbean
lady, only to see her die of embolism shortly after the birth of
their baby. He is returning home to reclaim his African identity
and to carve out a new life. Daniel Rutherford's story is a moving
odyssey of pain, disillusion and frustrated idealism-one that leads
from the shadow of the valley of death to a tranquillity and
capacity for love he never thought possible. Daniel Rutherford is a
character few readers will forget. Nor will they forget the other
characters who appear in To Seek a Newer World: Pastor Peter
Rutherford (Daniel Rutherford's father) with his strange, black
suit, the high priest who buys the suit by offering him a cow, Dr.
Felix Kamara, Daniel Rutherford's bosom friend and confidant, Kla
Wilson, who tries to poison Daniel....Compassionate and kindhearted
Maureen, Daniel Rutherford's second wife, who has a stabilizing
influence on him despite the vicissitudes of life. In To Seek a
Newer World, Robert H. Brown has created a rich tapestry of the
woes, delights and contradictions of life and love in a modern,
mythical republic, a universal metaphor for the human condition.
