Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


50/100. I really feel I should have read Bronte's "Jane Eyre" before taking this on. There is a lot of ambiguity about the characters at times, which I guess Rhys is counting on her audience to have read the "sequel," if you will. So, that made the story slightly hard to follow. But there's a passion to the writing casting a moody atmosphere over the story, which is fitting, as our heroine is descending into madness and everyone seems frightened of the "zombi."
