Summary
"Smile please" was begun when the author was 86 years old, and left unfinished due to her death three years later. This book is a collection of autobiographical vignettes. As a novelist she speaks with originality of the plight of… the disaffected, but self-aware; here she reveals the influences that shaped her life, and with perfect recall she returns to the tensions of her childhood on the island of Dominica and to the rebellious uncertainties of her later life in London and Paris. 1990.
