Good Morning, Midnight is a 1939 modernist novel by the author Jean Rhys.  Often considered a continuation of Rhys' three other early novels, "Quartet" (1928), "After Leaving Mr Mackenzie" (1930) and "Voyage in the Dark" (1934), it is experimental in design and deals with a woman's feelings of vulnerability, depression, loneliness and desperation during the years between the two World Wars.  The book initially sold poorly—critics thought it well written, but too depressing—and after its publication Rhys spent a decade living in obscurity.  It was not until it was adapted into a theatrical production in 1949, and again into a radio play 1957 by the BBC, that Rhys was once again put into the spotlight.

The Old Market of Roseau, also known as Old Market Plaza and Dawbiney Market Square, is a market located in Roseau, the capital of the Caribbean island of Dominica.  Located behind what is today The Dominica Museum on the seafront, it was a thriving market during colonial times and the square was the place where all the major trading between Dominica and the surrounding islands took place, from commodities to slave trading.  Public executions were held here.In 1988, the square was renovated as a craft center with shops, to display Dominica crafts.
Anolis oculatus, the Dominican anole or eyed anole, is a species of anole lizard.  It is endemic to the Caribbean island of Dominica, where it is found in most environments.  It is distributed in four main population groups on the island, which were initially described as subspecies and now are recognized as ecotypes.  It has a very diverse morphology between these populations, with a ground color that ranges from pale tan or yellow to deep green or brown.  It also has patterned markings that range from light-colored speckling to complex marbled patterns, and some populations also have large black-ringed "eye" spots on their flanks.  This diversity is the product of adaptation to different ecological conditions found within Dominica, which has made it the subject of numerous studies.
Stock Farm Prison, also known as Her Majesty's Prison, is the national prison of the Caribbean island of Dominica.  It lies in the northern part of the city of Roseau, in the Stock Farm neighborhood, just to the northwest of Dominica State College.  As of 2010 it had a prison population of 289, up from 229 in 1992, which, given its size, is severely overcrowded.As of 2010 it was directed by Denis A. Blanc, under the Dominica Prison Service.  A DFID small grants scheme has enabled the FCO to launch a training programme in the prison for the convicts such as bricklaying, carpentry and plumbing to enhance their job prospects after being released.
Voyage in the Dark was written in 1934 by Jean Rhys.  It tells of the semi-tragic descent of its young protagonist Anna Morgan, who is moved from her Caribbean home to England by an uncaring stepmother, after the death of her father.  Once she leaves school, and she is cut off financially by the stepmother, Hester, Anna tries to support herself as a chorus girl, then becomes involved with an older man named Walter who supports her financially.  When he leaves her, she begins a downward spiral.  Like William Faulkner's "The Wild Palms", the novel features a botched illegal abortion.  Rhys' original version of ""Voyage in the Dark" ended with Anna dying from this abortion (see Bonnie Kime Scott's "The Gender of Modernism" for the original ending), but she revised it before publication to the more ambivalent and modernist ending in which Anna survives to return to her now-shattered life "all over again."  The novel is rich in Caribbean folklore and tradition and post-colonial identity politics, including black self-identification by its white protagonist.
The Indian River is a river on the Caribbean island of Dominica.  It flows to the Caribbean Sea between the town of Portsmouth and the village of Glanvillia.  It is the widest river in Dominica.
