Wide Sargasso Sea

3.60 (75,458 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Jean Rhys

Wide Sargasso Sea, a masterpiece of modern fiction, was Jean Rhyss return to the literary center stage. She had a startling early career and was known for her extraordinary prose and haunting women characters. With Wide Sargasso Sea, her last and best-selling novel, she ingeniously brings into light one of fictions most fascinating characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre. This mesmerizing work introduces us to Antoinette Cosway, a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Mr. Rochester. Rhys portrays Cosway amidst a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind.

A new introduction by the award-winning Edwidge Danticat, author most recently of Claire of the Sea Light, expresses the enduring importance of this work. Drawing on her own Caribbean background, she illuminates the settings impact on Rhys and her astonishing work.
