About this product
Product Information
Her grand attempt to tell what she felt was the story of Jane Eyre's 'madwoman in the attic', Bertha Rochester, Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea is edited with an introduction and notes by Angela Smith in Penguin Classics.Born into the oppressive, colonialist society of 1930s Jamaica, white Creole heiress Antoinette Cosway meets a young Englishman who is drawn to her innocent beauty and sensuality. After their marriage, however, disturbing rumours begin to circulate which poison her husband against her. Caught between his demands and her own precarious sense of belonging, Antoinette is inexorably driven towards madness, and her husband into the arms of another novel's heroine. This classic study of betrayal, a seminal work of postcolonial literature, is Jean Rhys's brief, beautiful masterpiece.If you enjoyed Wide Sargasso Sea, you might like Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, also available in Penguin Classics.Product Identifiers

Short and sweet
Really interesting read with beautiful vivid imagery. I recommend reading Jane Eyre first, otherwise you won’t understand the characters as well. It discusses serious issues, such as cultural differences and the patriarchy. Thoroughly enjoyed the book, and only took about 4 hours to read!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Over-rated
I actually don't understand why this book is so highly acclaimed. I found the style difficult to read and wasn't even pulled into the story enough to finish the book. Perhaps studying it at GCSE is the way to go but as a 'read-for-pleasure' - no.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
