The Orchid House (novel)
''The Orchid House'' was a book published in 1953, and the only novel written by Dominican writer Phyllis Shand Allfrey. It is considered "a pioneering work of Caribbean literature".〔Polly Pattullo, ("Phyllis Alfrey: The Art of Living Together" ), ''Caribbean Beat'', Issue 6 (Summer 1993).〕
Originally published by Constable, it was reissued in 1982 by Virago Press, and reprinted in 1991 at the time its Channel 4 television adaptation of the same name came out (directed by Horace Ové and starring Elizabeth Hurley, Kate Buffery and Frances Barber). An American edition of the novel appeared in 1996.
A French-language version, ''La Maison des Orchidées'', appeared in 1954.〔Biography of author Phyllis Shand Allfrey, ''The Orchid House'' (1991 reprint). London: Virago Modern Classics.〕
==Summary==
Summarized in an Introduction by Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert, "The novel, as narrated by the old nurse Lally, revolves around the return of three Creole sisters to their native island after years abroad: Stella, drawn to the lush tropical by an impassioned yearning; Joan, a grass-roots political activist in London; and Natalie, a wealthy old man's hedonistic widow..."〔Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert, "Introduction" to Rutgers University Press edition, 1997, p. xix.〕
