Format:Hardcover
What a shame!! This book was never properly completed. This book was very interesting, and gave an interesting perspective on colonial times from the writers perspective. It was an eyeopener to read about a country, so far away and hardly mentioned in any other texts that are published today. It was evidence that this book was published incomplete. None the less it raises points of interest, due to the writers English background but Dominican upbringing and experiences.

Beauty among lost diary pages.
2 July 2000
Format:Paperback
This is a short and sad work by the author of Wide Sargasso Sea that conveys her feelings of leaving her home in the French West Indian colonies only to find disillusionment in Europe.It is, however, a very readable and entertaining book from one of last centuries most neglected authors.

Careful!
5 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
The Library Journal review on this book's Amazon page says: "These volumes provide as close to a self-portrait of the author as readers are likely to get." But that sentence doesn't actually refer to "Smile Please" -- it's from LJ's review of the Rhys's "Letters".
I apologize for rating this book as "4 stars" when I haven't seen it yet. Amazon won't let me post this warning without entering a rating.
