Award-winning author Caryl Phillips presents a biographical novel of the life of Jean Rhys, the author of Wide Sargasso Sea, which she wrote as a prequel to Charlotte Bront 's Jane Eyre.
Caryl Phillips's A View of the Empire at Sunset is the sweeping story of the life of the woman who became known to the world as Jean Rhys. Born Ella Gwendolyn Rees Williams in Dominica at the height of the British Empire, Rhys lived in the Caribbean for only sixteen years before going to England. A View of the Empire at Sunset is a look into her tempestuous and unsatisfactory life in Edwardian England, 1920s Paris, and then again in London. Her dream had always been to one day return home to Dominica. In 1936, a forty-five-year-old Rhys was finally able to make the journey back to the Caribbean. Six weeks later, she boarded a ship for England, filled with hostility for her home, never to return. Phillips's gripping new novel is equally a story about the beginning of the end of a system that had sustained Britain for two centuries but that wreaked havoc on the lives of all who lived in the shadow of the empire: both men and women, colonizer and colonized. A true literary feat, A View of the Empire at Sunset uncovers the mysteries of the past to illuminate the predicaments of the present, getting at the heart of alienation, exile, and family by offering a look into the life of one of the greatest storytellers of the twentieth century and retelling a profound story that is singularly its own.Binding Type: Paperback

Kinda Cheaply Made
It is super cute and could hold a lot. It is super light so it's not very sturdy. It is good for a temporary jewelry holder, but I am definetly going to get a different one.

Amazingly versatile
Color: E Black
Fun! It is really beautiful and easy to use. It is just about as big as your elbow to your fingers. It is great for necklaces and even bracelets and rings! It doesn’t shake unless you hang heavy necklaces on it. It is really stable otherwise though! It’s really easy to hang on the hook. If you have a clasp necklace, all you need to do is clasp it and put it on the stand. I’m amazed by the different types of jewelry you can put on, you can even put earrings on there but they might get lost so I don’t. Other than that so awesome!

Perfect for my needs.
I love this cute little tree. It is well made and sturdy. The base is 6 inches wide so no worries about tip over. I bought it specifically so I could hang my citizen eco drive watches allowing them to receive light from my lamp to remain charged. I'm pleased with my purchase.

One of my favorite purchases for organization 2024
The bird on top or this organizer is so cute and it also makes it easy to move and it holds so many items! I purchased another organizer for brushes and stuff with the same bird theme and they look very nice together on my dresser which is now getting much more cleaned and organized thanks to purchases like this one.
