Voyage in the Dark

by Jean Rhys, Carole Angier
Compare to estimated retail price: S$17.54  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

Voyage in the Dark
Voyage in the Dark

Young woman's melancholic coming-of-age in Edwardian London.

If you appreciate narratives that capture the emotional turbulence of youth set against the backdrop of a society in transition, "Voyage in the Dark" can resonate with you. Jean Rhys masterfully depicts Anna's loss of innocence and her struggle with displacement, in prose that's as piercing as it is beautiful. The book invites reflection on isolation and the search for identity, remaining strikingly relevant despite being penned over eight decades ago. It's a short, impactful read that lingers long after the last page.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
