Quartet (Norton Paperback Fiction)

by Jean Rhys

Now available for the first time in paperback, Quartet "belongs to the new tradition in prose, which shuns elaboration for sharpness and intensity of effect" (New York Times). A woman, caught in the stranglehold between her lover and his wife, faces a further dilemma when her own husband is released from prison. (read review)

Sad and short semi-autobiographical work based on Jean Rhys's affiar with Ford Madox Ford. Doesn't pack the same emotional punch as Wide Sargasso Sea, but it is well worth a read.
