Question
At the end of a novel by this author, a woman puts her arms around a mysterious neighbor in a white dressing gown and pulls him onto her bed while saying, “Yes - yes - yes…” This author fell into obscurity until that novel was adapted into a radio play by Selma Vaz Dias. In another novel by this author, a girl runs out of her burning house towards her former friend, Tia, who throws a jagged rock at her forehead, drawing blood. Enno abandons his wife (*) Sasha Jensen in this author’s 1939 novel Good Morning, Midnight. Another novel by this author concludes with a woman holding a candle, poised to burn down a house where she is confined to an upstairs room. In that novel, that woman’s husband insists on calling her “Bertha” instead of her true name, Antoinette Cosway. For 10 points, name this author of Wide Sargasso Sea. ■END■
