Dominica: Jean Rhys’ house

Categories: Caribbean, Dominica, Arts & Culture, Literature

When I jumped out of the car and dodged traffic to get just the right shot of the unassuming wooden building, people seemed to understand my interest and smiled at me as they walked just a bit more proudly down the street.”
