5/21/2023 0 Comments Voyage in the Dark by Jean RhysShe receives no financial backing from her family, so she supports herself through her lover, Walter. In 1934, Rhys published her novel entitled Voyage in the Dark, which tells the story of Anna Morgan, a young woman who has just moved from her home in the Caribbean to England. However, Rhys soon discovered an outlet for expressing her sorrow and emotions: writing. Her lack of success career-wise during this time in her life led to a dependence on alcohol and a long string of lovers to fulfill her desires. She also enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art to practice acting, yet her dialect prevented her from pursuing a career in theatre as well. At age 16, she moved to England to attend the Perse School for Girls, but was intensely mocked for her foreign accent. Jean Rhys was an English author born on Augin Dominica, British West Indies.
