Comeback. After the commercial failure of Good Morning, Midnight, Jean Rhys completely withdrew from the public and stopped publishing books. Ten years after the novel’s publication, the actress Selma Vaz Dias took out advertisements in newspapers in an attempt to track Rhys down because she wanted to buy the rights to Good Morning, Midnight. Rhys eagerly accepted, and Dias adapted it into a radio play. More importantly, she encouraged Rhys to keep writing, ultimately resulting in Rhys’s most famous novel, Wide Sargasso Sea.
