Jean Rhys (1890–1979), one of the foremost writers of the twentieth century, is the author of Wide Sargasso Sea—her last and best-known novel—as well as After Leaving Mr. Mackenzie, Voyage in the Dark, and Good Morning, Midnight, all available in Norton paperback.
"If difficulty of subject is to be considered in judging the merit
of a novel, Miss Rhys must be accredited with high achievement. Not
only does she deal with the most complex personalities, exploring
the most intimate recesses of their psychology, but she does so
with the directness and certitude of the fine artist. The style,
especially of the dialogue, belongs to the new tradition in prose,
which shuns elaboration for sharpness and intensity of effect."
