Tigers are Better-looking by Jean Rhys
Jean Rhys wrote about women and set her stories in Paris, London and the Caribbean. This is a collection of some of Rhys' earliest work as well as a representive selection of her later work.
Jean Rhys was born in Dominica in 1894. Coming to England aged 16, she drifted into various jobs before starting to write in the late 1920's. Her novels, often portraying women as underdogs out to exploit their sexualities, were ahead of their timeand only modestly successful. Partly autobiographical, VOYAGE IN THE DARK was first published in 1934. From 1939 she lived reclusively, and was largely forgotten when she made a sensational comeback with 'Wide Sargasso Sea' in 1966. She died in 1979.
