I Used to Live Here Once

Zusatztext

An intimate, revealing and profoundly moving biography of Jean Rhys, acclaimed author of <i>Wide Sargasso Sea</i>. An obsessive and troubled genius, Jean Rhys is one of the most compelling and unnerving writers of the twentieth century. Memories of a conflicted Caribbean childhood haunt the four fictions that Rhys wrote during her extraordinary years as an exile in 1920s Paris and later in England. Seymour's biography reveals a proud and fiercely independent artist, one who experienced tragedy and extreme poverty, alcohol and drug dependency, romantic and sexual turmoil - and yet was never a victim. <b>A Times Literary Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2022</b>
