'An unfinished autobiography' sets the record straight over the author's hurt that people judged her as a drifter, and for her 'vagabondage'.
Part 1: her childhood as a white Creole in the West indies; Part 2: 'It Began to Grow Cold' is her life in England.
Despite a resurgence of interest in 'Wild Sargasso Sea', after being forgotten for 20 years, Rhys hit tough times, none of which is sugar-coated in these short vignettes.
Foreword by Diana Athill, with her own biographical sketch.
