Is Barred by Jean Rhys available?
Yes but it is very rare, copies can show up at abebooks but are likely to be expensive. It is without doubt the rarest Jean Rhys related book (actually a translation and rewriting by her of a book by Jim Jean Leenlet aka Deward de Neve), even the British Library copy has been "mislaid..." If searching for it look for 'Barred' by Neve NOT Rhys. Good luck. Mugwort.
