alisarae 's review for:

Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

A Jane Eyre prequel from Rochester's wife's POV is such a great concept. I didn't love the execution of it, though. The characters felt too distant, even though it was told in first person... like their thoughts were too broad and often about nature or dreams, when I wanted them to be more introspective in the moment they were experiencing.

Even so, I want to read more of this author's books and her life sounds fascinating.
