Good Morning, Midnight

Jean Rhys · Constable (London) · 1939

Constable (London) 1939 is the true and only period first; the novel had no American edition until the Harper & Row (New York) 1970 revival that followed Rhys's rediscovery. The 1970 Harper US edition is a separate, much later book, not a co-first.
