Jean Rhys

Often considered Jean Rhys's most autobiographical novel, this masterful and moving work follows a chorus girl, Anna, who struggles to adjust to cold and inhospitable England after a childhood in the West Indies. When an affair that at first feels like salvation comes to a disastrous end, Anna begins to unravel.

Voyage in the Dark

Anna, 18 and independent both by circumstance and by character, has exchanged the West Indian island of her childhood for the cold, grey island of England, with its narrow streets and narrow rules. She comes to understand a world where people offer you no help unless there's something they want.

Rocío de la Hera

Si juntas este libro con ‘The bell jar’ y ‘The house of mirth’ y escuchas ‘What was I made for?’ de Billie de fondo, tenés un combo espectacular de historias sobre qué se siente ser una piba de veinte años que no entiende qué hacer con su vida ni su lugar en el mundo. 
Jean Rhys está a nada de convertirse en otra autora favorita❤️

Beautifully written, incredibly depressing
