This classic Jean Rhys novel was originally published in 1930.
Julia Martin is in Paris and at the end of her rope. Once beautiful, she was taken care of by men. Now after being dropped by her latest lover, Mr. Mackenzie, Julia is running out of luck and chances. Visiting London to see her ailing mother, she meets up with her distrustful sister, Norah, after a long absence. With the immense subtlety of understanding and careful precision of language we expect of Jean Rhys, here is a haunting picture of two desperate women in a desperate predicament. A masterful and terrifying tale from one of the truest voices in twentieth-century fiction.
