  Abstract:  Home and Exile in Caryl Phillips’ The Final Passage. The article presents Leila, a young woman from the Caribbean and the consequences of her decision to migrate to England in search of a better future. The focus of the paper is on the way in which she strives to negotiate her place in the new location and the reasons why she fails to find a home there. However, it is precisely her failure that teaches her what a real home means. Her realisation triggers her final decision to return to the small island of her birth which, following her experience as an exile in England, Leila has come to conceive as her home.

Key Words: home, exile, the Caribbean, migration, new location, confusion, racism, home.
