Voyage in the Dark

I decided to give one of Jean Rhys' early works a try.  This reminded me of a Precode.  It's about a chorus girl and her love affair with an older man.  There are also taboo topics like abortion discussed.  I wished that more was talked about Francine.  It's probably because I love Wide Sargasso Sea so much and wanted even more.  It was a good work though and it shows the potential that would later lead to her masterpiece.
