Wide Sargasso Sea is so sad. The entire vibe of the book is melancholy. It was interesting, to see the other side of a character where we only see Antoinette as a crazy lady in Jane Eyre. I would love to go through this book again with a book club, I feel like there are things I missed with my own read. WSS requires a slower reading and deeper reflection than I could give it at this time in my life. Rhys' writing is so so beautiful. It flowed well and painted vivid images in my mind. It was interesting to see Creole whites from another perspective than the ones I have usually read.
