«[Quartet] belongs to the new tradition in prose, which shuns elaboration for sharpness and intensity of effect»
Jean Rhys was born in Dominica in 1894. After arriving in England aged sixteen, she became a chorus girl and drifted between
different jobs before moving to Paris, where she started to write in the late 1920s. She published a story collection and
four novels, after which she disappeared from view and lived reclusively for many years. In 1966 she made a sensational comeback
with her masterpiece, Wide Sargasso Sea, written in difficult circumstances over a long period. Rhys died in 1979.
