Celebration of Jean Rhys

Award winning biographer Miranda Seymour’s latest book illuminates the life of author Jean Rhys who lived in relative obscurity in the tiny Devon village of Cheriton Fitzpaine just a few miles from Tiverton for the later part of her life. Miranda shares insights about Jean’s love of Devon and her writing in conversation with Tara Fraser who is the granddaughter of one of Rhys' most interesting collaborators, the actress, writer and painter Selma Vaz Dias. You can see artworks by Selma Vaz Dias at Ashley Court.
