Jean Rhys was born in Dominica in 1894. After arriving in England aged sixteen, she became a chorus girl and drifted between different jobs before moving to Paris, where she started to write in the late 1920s. She published a story collection and four novels, after which she disappeared from view and lived reclusively for many years. In 1966 she made a sensational comeback with her masterpiece, Wide Sargasso Sea, written in difficult circumstances over a long period. Rhys died in 1979.

   Lättuggad!

   Pärmarna var föredömligt lättuggade samt höll också för att bära omkring bokupplevelsen till mina favoritplatser. Innehållet fick tuggas om flera gånger innan jag kunde smälta dem. En helt OK förströelse en regnig dag. Godot, valp 4 månader
