Wow, Declan I've never met anyone who has even heard of her, let alone likes her, let alone named children after her! You're seriously cool.
This Christmas just gone I made my bf watch a film version of 'Wide Sagrosso Sea' that was on TV - it was hard work getting him to appreciate it. He was only watching it to humour me really. Oh well.
But I agree, 'Good Morning Midnight' is my favourite too.
I like to flatter myself that I went through abit of Jean Rhys period in my life - I ran away to London and stayed in youth hostels and hung out with all kinds of people. I certainly felt the things that some of her charactors felt although I think that my experiences don't really live up to that of Sacha's!!
