Wide Sargasso Sea
Wide Sargasso Sea

Postcolonial prequel to Brontë's Gothic classic.

Wide Sargasso Sea offers a powerful perspective shift from Jane Eyre, giving voice to the previously silent 'madwoman in the attic'. Jean Rhys crafts a simmering, tropical tale set against the lush backdrop of 1930s Jamaica, where themes of identity, madness, and colonialism intertwine. It’s perfect for those who enjoyed Jane Eyre but yearned to understand Bertha Mason’s side of the story. This novel peels back the layers of a character once seen only through a Victorian lens, presenting a haunting, richly detailed narrative that stays with you long after turning the last page.

Description

Born into an oppressive colonialist society, Creole heiress Antoinette Cosway meets a young Englishman who is drawn to her innocent sensuality and beauty. After their marriage, disturbing rumours begin to circulate, poisoning her husband against her. Caught between his demands and her own precarious sense of belonging, Antoinette is driven towards madness. This is a fully annotated edition of Jean Rhys's late literary masterpiece, which was inspired by Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, and is set in the lush, beguiling landscape of Jamaica in the 1830s.
