I Used to Live Here Once

An intimate, profoundly moving biography of Jean Rhys, acclaimed author of Wide Sargasso Sea. Based on new research in the Caribbean, a wealth of never-before-seen papers, journals, letters, and photographs, and interviews with those who knew Rhys, I Used to Live Here Once is a luminous and penetrating portrait of a fascinatingly elusive artist.
