Phyllis Shand Allfrey 01听December听2004
Phyllis Shand Allfrey was born in 1908 into a family of white colonial officials in the British colony of Dominica in the eastern Caribbean

Like her compatriot and onetime friend, the writer Jean Rhys - Phyllis has a particular significance in the region as a political as well as a literary figure.

Her acclaimed novel, The Orchid House paved the way for a successful writing career in Britain but instead she returned to the Caribbean in 1954 and entered politics.

Since her death in 1986, Phyllis's literary work has been neglected. However this month sees the publication of It Falls into Place - her previously unpublished short fiction - which highlights her contribution to the development of West Indian literature.

Angela Robson has been finding out more about Phyllis Shand Allfrey's life. She spoke first to Lenox Honeychurch, Phyllis's friend and literary executor in Dominica.
