Letters, 1931-1966

James Haliburton

An almost unbearable insight into the personal circumstances of Jean Rhys during the many years she took to write 'Wide Sargasso Sea'; at times the repetitive reports on her poor health and desperate financial situation make it hard to understand how she was able to write such a work of genius. Despite the gloom and doom her writing style, even in short notes to her grand-daughter, shines through. A worthy companion piece to Virginia Woolf's 'A Room Of One's Own'.
