Eileen Atkins as The Jean Rhys Woman
' Her eyes gave her away. By her eyes, and the deep circles under them, you could see that she was a dreamer, too vulnerable to make a success of a career of chance.'
Tonight's Omnibus looks at the work of an extraordinary writer -Jean Rhys , whose novels about women, first published in the 30s, are read and admired today by a rapidly growing audience.
Dramatised scenes from her books take us into the drifting world of the Jean Rhys heroine. And there is a rare interview with JEAN rhys herself with ANTHONY AINLEY , TERENCE BAILER CAROLINE BLAKISTON , NOEL DAVIS SANDOR ELES , AGNES STANLEY
