A review by moonbathing
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

so incredibly vivid with beautiful modern prose. it's a tale of identity, love, power and money interweaving with complex and fully rendered characters. it's female rage and despair, decentering the usual narrative and introducing a new depth to the story of jane eyre. it's a book that will be running around in my mind for years :)
