Jean Rhys, from the Caribbean to London and Paris, lost but writing, alienated but resilient. Tales of Paris, Good Morning, Midnight; and later, Wide Sargasso Sea. Living, writing, living, writing. What else was a Caribbean-born writer to do?
Jean Rhys in 1921. About thirty years old here.
In the tropics, hurricane season. Stormy elsewhere. Hang on tight as needed.
