Jean Rhys is the author of Wide Sargasso Sea, among other novels.
I don’t know much about her, but when I was surfing the internet for this post I found a 2009 newspaper review of her biography It offers an insight into her troubled life and it would seem that she didn’t find a home anywhere. It makes me want to go back and read more of her writing, and read this biography too.
Reblogged this on mira prabhu and commented:
“Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.” Thanks, Bridget Whelan!
Thank you for re-blogging Mira. I was blown away by this quote, glad you like it too.
