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.
