Please read some other Jean Rhys though. Ahh it seems @WillMelling said the same thing.
I enjoy the backlisted podcast, and they have an episode about Good Morning Midnight. A good place to start.
I have found backlisted quite a good way to find out about books I wouldn't otherwise have read. I'm currently reading the world accoring to garp, as there is an episode about that and I wanted something fairly light after the miror and light

I just started Wide Sargasso Sea, having watched the NT's production Jane Eyre on Thursday- I had no idea they were linked.
So far I both love it and find it uncomfortable. Anything post-colonial with "whites suffered too" overtones I find very hard to empathise with. But the language and description of the landscapes and atmosphere are great.
I don't think I've read a book by a man this year, and I might try and keep that up.
