This review is from: Smile Please: An Unfinished Autobiography (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) (Paperback)

This is a short and sad work by the author of Wide Sargasso Sea that conveys her feelings of leaving her home in the French West Indian colonies only to find disillusionment in Europe.It is, however, a very readable and entertaining book from one of last centuries most neglected authors.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Smile Please: An Unfinished Autobiography (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) (Paperback)

The Library Journal review on this book's Amazon page says: "These volumes provide as close to a self-portrait of the author as readers are likely to get." But that sentence doesn't actually refer to "Smile Please" -- it's from LJ's review of the Rhys's "Letters".

I apologize for rating this book as "4 stars" when I haven't seen it yet. Amazon won't let me post this warning without entering a rating.
