The Content Reader

This is a book in my second line of 'connected' reading. The first and previous book was Wide Sargasso Sea  so the connection is the author. See ny new 'Connected' page here  or go directly from the Home page. As mentioned in my review of the previous book the author is new to me. And what a pleasant surprise. Having finished the second book, I look forward reading more by Rhys. She has a simple, poetic, down to earth language in her stories, which is quite fascinating. The two books I have read have another thing in common. The story takes places in Dominica and England, and tells of the difficulties to come from an exotic, beautiful, warm island to the coldness of England. Both in the different climates, but also how people are behaving.
